Answer 1

Answer:

There are 14 red checkers and 6 black checkers on the checker board.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of checkers in all = 20

We need to find the number of checkers red and number of checkers black.

Solution:

Let the number of black checkers be 'x'.

Now given:

There are 8 more red checkers than black checkers

Number of red checkers = $x+8$

Now we can say that;

Total number of checkers in all is equal to sum of number of black checkers and Number of red checkers.

framing in equation form we get;

$x+8+x=20\\\\2x+8=20$

Subtracting both side by 8 we get;

$2x+8-8=20-8\\\\2x=12$

Dividing both side by 2 we get;

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}\\\\x=6$

Number of black checkers = 6

Number of red checkers = $x+8 =6+8 =14$

Hence There are 14 red checkers and 6 black checkers on the checker board.
