naylah bought 11 more bottles of soda for the company barbeque. she now has all 29 bottles she planned to buy. select all statements that are true if $b$ represents the bottles of soda naylah already had:
a $b - 11 = 29$ represents the situation.
b $b + 11 = 29$ represents the situation.
c subtract 11 from 29 to find $b$.

e add 11 and 29 to find $b$.
f naylah has 40 bottles of soda total.
g naylah already had 18 bottles of soda.

Explanation:

Step1: Define the equation

Let $b$ = initial bottles. She added 11 to get 29:
$b + 11 = 29$

Step2: Solve for $b$

Isolate $b$ by subtracting 11:
$b = 29 - 11$

Step3: Calculate $b$

Compute the value:
$b = 18$

Step4: Verify true statements

Match results to options: B (correct equation), C (correct solving method), G (correct $b$ value) are true.

Answer:

B. $b + 11 = 29$ represents the situation.
C. Subtract 11 from 29 to find $b$.
G. Naylah already had 18 bottles of soda.
