    3 necklaces and 12 bracelets

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Bracelets = x + 4

    amount of necklace gold = 20*x

    amount of gold in bracelet = 7 * (x+4)

    added together = 109 gm

    20x + 7 (x+4) = 109

    20x + 7x+28 = 109

    27x+28=109

    -28 - 28

    27x = 81

    /27 / 27

    x=3 necklaces

    then bracelets = 3+4=12
