Niel has a bucket of beads. He uses them to make 8 identical necklaces and then buys 25 beads at the store. He ends up with a total of 500 beads. How many did he start with? Identify the operations needed to solve this problem using the equation b/8 + 25 = 500.(1 point

Answer 1

To solve this problem using the equation b/8 + 25 = 500, you would need to perform the following operations:

1. Multiply 8 by b to get the product b/8.
2. Add 25 to the product b/8 to get the sum b/8 + 25.
3. Set the sum b/8 + 25 equal to 500.
4. Solve for b by isolating it on one side of the equation.
