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
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.
