Nicole has x beads. Together we have 56 beads. How many beads will I have if I lose 1/4 of my beads? WILL GIVE BRANLIEST TO PERSON WHO SOLVES

y = 42 - 3/4 * x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement we know that the following:

x + y = 56

y = 56 - x

x beads of Nicole and another person's beads, after losing a 1/4 of the beads, it would be:

y = (3/4) * (56 - x)

y = 42 - 3/4 * x

From here on you should know the number of beads that Nicole has or suppose, for example:

x = 12

y = 42 - 3/4 * 12

y = 33

Therefore, you would have 33 beads.
