Question

charlotte has 30 beads she has 8 more red beds thad blue what equation represents this situation

Answer 1

Let \( r \) represent the number of red beads and \( b \) represent the number of blue beads that Charlotte has. According to the problem:

1. The total number of beads is 30:
\( r + b = 30 \)

2. Charlotte has 8 more red beads than blue beads:
\( r = b + 8 \)

So, the system of equations that represents this situation is:

1. \( r + b = 30 \)
2. \( r = b + 8 \)

You can use these two equations to solve for the values of \( r \) and \( b \).
