Question

The ratio of the number of beads in Box A to the number of beads in Box B was 6:5. After 21 of the beads in Box A were moved to box B, there were 30 more beads in Box B than in Box A. How many beads were there in Box A at first? I don't understand. Please help

Answer 1

Answer:

180

Step-by-step explanation:

let beads in box A= 6x

beads in box B =5x

equation_

6x-21+30=5x+21

6x-9=5x+21

6x-5x=21+9

x=30

beads in box A =6x=6*30=180
