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?

The correct approach is addition and multiplication.
To solve the problem using the equation b/8 + 25 = 500, we first need to subtract 25 from both sides to isolate b/8:
b/8 = 500 - 25
Then we have to multiply both sides by 8 to solve for b:
b = (500 - 25) * 8
The correct operations needed to solve this problem are addition and subtraction.
The equation b/8 + 25 = 500 involves adding 25 to the result of dividing the unknown number of beads (b) by 8, which equals 500.
The operations needed to solve this problem using the equation b/8 + 25 = 500 are addition and multiplication.
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable "b", which represents the number of beads Niel started with.
First, we subtract 25 from both sides of the equation to remove the constant term on the right side:
b/8 = 500 - 25
Next, we simplify the right side of the equation:
b/8 = 475
To isolate the variable "b", we multiply both sides of the equation by 8:
8 * (b/8) = 8 * 475
The 8 on the left side cancels out with the 8 in the denominator of the fraction:
b = 8 * 475
Finally, we multiply 8 by 475 to find the value of "b":
b = 3800
Therefore, Niel started with 3800 beads.

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The correct operations needed to solve this problem are subtraction and multiplication.
To solve the equation b/8 + 25 = 500, we first need to subtract 25 from both sides to isolate b/8:
b/8 = 500 - 25
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives:
b/8 = 475
Next, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for b:
8 * (b/8) = 8 * 475
The 8 on the left side cancels out with the 8 in the denominator of the fraction:
b = 8 * 475
Finally, simplifying the right side of the equation gives:
b = 3800
Therefore, Niel started with 3800 beads.
