Answer 1

Answer:

red beads =40

black beads= 35

Step-by-step explanation:

let

red beads=8x

black beads=7x

8x=7X+5

x=5

read beads = 8(5)=40

black beads =7(5)=35

Answer 2

Answer:

Red beads = 40, Black beads = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of beads be 8x and 7x respectively,

According to question,

8x + 5 = 7x

8x - 7x = 5

x = 5

Now, putting the value of x in 8x and 7x,

8 x 5 = 40

7 x 5 = 35
