Lauren has 22 more red peppers. in all she has 74 peppers. how many red peppers does lauren have

Define x :

Let x be the not red peppers.
not red = x
red = x + 22


Construct equation :

There are 74 in total :
 x + x + 22 = 74
2x + 22 = 74


Solve x :

2x + 22 = 74
2x = 52
x = 26


Find number of peppers :

Not red = x = 26
Red = x + 22 = 26 + 22 = 48


Answer : There are 48 red peppers.

The answer is 48 red peppers
