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.
15 - 2(- 13s + 3) = 9s - 9 + 16s
15 + 26s - 6 = 25s - 9
9 + 26s = 25s - 9
26s - 25s = -9 - 9
s = - 18

the domain:

the equation:

4 is in the domain
-2 is not in the domain
The answer:

***
Also, the answer in 13 is {8}. -3 is not in the domain. Replace x with -3 and you'll see:

It's not true so -3 isn't a solution to this equation.
This is a 1:3 ratio of girls to boys so we need to find one part by dividing 236 by 4 giving us 59 and then multiplying by the parts with boys which is 3 so 59*3=177 therefore there are 177boys in the class
