Neil has a bucket of has a bucket of beads he uses them to make eight identical necklaces and them buys 25 bees at the store he ends up with a total of 500 B's how many did he start with identify the operation needs to solve this problem using the equation B over 8 + 25 = 50

Answer 1

To solve the equation:

B/8 + 25 = 500

First, we need to isolate B/8 by subtracting 25 from both sides:

B/8 = 500 - 25

B/8 = 475

Next, we can solve for B by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8:

8 * (B/8) = 8 * 475

B = 3800

Therefore, Neil started with a total of 3800 beads.
