Ahh -- thanks for reposting. Now your problem can be solved.
r = red beads
6r = blue beads
r + 6r = 49
7r = 49
r = 7
7 red beads
7 * 6 = _______ blue beads
r = red beads
6r = blue beads
r + 6r = 49
7r = 49
r = 7
7 red beads
7 * 6 = _______ blue beads

I still don't know the answer cause the teacher said that there are 7 red beads and she wrote 7 * 6 is how many blue beads there are; which is 42. And the question said that there are 42 beads in all.... 42 + 7 is definitely more than 42. I don't understand!
