Answer:

b x 8 = 40 and 40 / 8 =b

Explanation:

well, 8 charms makes one bracelet, so add up 8 until you run out of charms:

  1. 8
  2. 8 + 8 = 16
  3. 16 + 8 = 24
  4. 24 + 8 = 32
  5. 32 + 8 = 40

We only have 40 charms, so we can make 5 bracelets!

Now, plug this number (5) back into the equations:

b x 8 = 40

(5) x 8 = 40

40 = 40

this checks out!

40 - 8 = b

40 - 8 = (5)

32 = 5

32 does not equal 5, so this equation doesn't work.

40 / 8 = b

40 / 8 = (5)

5 = 5

This equation works :)

b + 8 = 40

(5) + 8 = 40

13 = 40

13 does not equal 40, so this is also a bad equation..

since b x 8 = 40 and 40 / 8 = b both produced the right results, we know those two are our answers!
