Answer:

Explanation:

You need to specify what the goal of the problem is.

If Kai picked 7 times as many blueberries as Nico, then:

n + 7n + 297, or

8n = 297. Unfortunately, 8 does not divide evenly into 297, and we certainly are not interested in picking fractional blueberries.

If the problem mentioned 296 instead of 297 total blueberries, then

Nico (n) picked 47 blueberries and Kai picked 7 times that many, or 329.
