Answer: The equation is 2x + 8 = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of blue beads be x
Since Charlotte has 8 more red beads, their can be represented as: x + 8
There are a total of 30 beads.
The equation can now be written as:
x + (x + 8) = 30
2x + 8 = 30
2x= 30-8
2x = 22
x = 22/2 = 11
Blue beads are 11
Red = 8+11 = 19
