There are 7 times as many red markers as there are blue markets. if the total number of markers is 32, how many red markers are there?

If we put it into an equation, and x was blue markers, we could say:
7x + x = 32
Then you'd simplify:
8x = 32
Then solve:
8x = 32
÷ 8
x = 4.
So now we know that there are 4 blue markers, we can multiply 4 by 7 to get the amount of red markers, which is 28. Hope this helps!
