Given :
Liam has a bag of b beads.
He gives 20 beads to his sister.
He then makes 4 necklaces with the same of beads on each necklace using all of the remaining beads.
To Find :
Write an expression that represents the number of beads on each necklace.
Solution :
Number of necklace remains after giving 20 beads to his sister is ( b - 20 ).
Number of beads on each necklace using all of the remaining beads is :

Hence, this is the required solution.
We have been given a system of inequalities and an objective function.
The inequalities are given as:

And the objective function is given as:

In order to find the minimum value of the objective function at the given feasible region, we need to first graph the region.
The graph of the region is shown below:
From the graph, we can see that corner points of the feasible region are:
(x,y) = (15,30),(30,15) and (30,60).
Now we will evaluate the value of the objective function at each of these corner points and then we will compare which of those values is minimum.

Hence the minimum value of objective function is 975 and it occurs at x = 15 and y = 30
Answer: I think that it's not One but It's <u><em>ZERO</em></u> because a tangent line can only touch the circle at one point and if it touches the small circle once it would have to go through the larger one twice.
Edit: I just checked and it's definitely<u><em> ZERO</em></u>
To decrease it by 3% we need to fine 97% of it and 97% is the same as 0.97
16870 times 0.97=16363.9
16870 decreased by 3% is 16363.9
I hope I've helped!
