The equality for this equation is

175 + 8b >/= 425

B = number of bottles required to sell. Now, I don't want to give you the answer but I can assist you in easily finding it. Subtract 175 from both sides

8b >/= 250

Now, divide at from both sides and remove the greater than mark which should mean that in the end it should look like it says

**edited** I mean divide 8 from both sides.

b = ?

That is the number of bottles they must sell, if it is a decimal, round it up because there is no such thing as a decimal number for selling water bottles.
