Question

Neil has a bucket of beads. He uses them to make an identical necklaces and then buy is 25 beads at the store he ends up with a total of 500 beads. How many dNeil has a bucket of beads. He uses them to make eight 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 the problem using equation be over 8+25 = 500.

Answer 1

To solve the problem using an equation, you would need to set up the equation:

x/8 + 25 = 500

The variable x represents the number of beads Neil started with. He divides the beads into 8 equal parts for the necklaces, and then adds 25 beads from the store. The sum of these two amounts is equal to 500, so you can set up the equation.
