Given :
Liam has a bag of b beads.
He gives 20 beads to his sister.

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.
1.The isosceles triangle has sides of length 14, y, y
2. According to the "triangle inequality" :
y+y>14
2y>14
y>14/2=7
(y is greater than 7)
3. Remark, check the figures:
the side lengths cannot be less than (neither equal to 7), because we cannot get a triangle in that case, check picture 2
In picture 1 wee see that the side lengths can be as large as we want. We can erect an altitude, as high as we want. Pick a point on the altitude, and join it to the endpoints of the base, and we get an isosceles triangle with base equal to 14.
