Leslie creates designer bracelets with gemstones. Her most recent order included a total of 8 bracelets. It takes 16 stones to make one bracelet.
Write and solve an equation that represents how many stones were used for the order.
s + 8 = 16; s = 8 stones
s − 8 = 16; s = 24 stones
s divided by 16 equals 8; s = 128 stones
8s = 16; s = 2 stones
