The correct answer is "addition and multiplication".
In order to solve this problem using the equation b8 + 25 = 500, we need to perform two operations: addition and multiplication.
First, we perform the addition operation, adding the number of beads Niel starts with (represented by the variable b) to the number of beads he buys (25). We write this as b8 + 25.
Then, we perform the multiplication operation, multiplying the total number of beads by 8 to represent the 8 identical necklaces Niel made. We write this as (b8 + 25) * 8.
Finally, we set this expression equal to the total number of beads Niel ends up with (500): (b8 + 25) * 8 = 500.
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 b8 + 25 = 500
