Question

The number of blue jays on a tree is 5 times the number of red Robbins. Combined there are a total of 48 birds on the tree. How many blue jays are on the tree?

Answer 1

$x + (5x) = 48 \\ 6x = 48 \\ x = \frac{48}{6} = 8$
the number of Robbins is 8

$8 \times 5 = 40$
the number of blue Jays is 40
