This Must Only Have One Solution, Because The Right Side Of The Equation Is Just Plainly Ten. Lets Solve This:
5x + 3x - 4 = 10
Add Four To Both Sides To Begin Simplifying.
5x + 3x = 14
Now, Combine Like Terms.
8x = 14
Divide:
8x/8 = 1X = X
14/8
X = 14/8
14/8 = 1.75
X = 1.75
Check:
(5 * 1.75) + (3*1.75) - 4 = 10
8.75 + 5.25 - 4 = 10
14 - 4 = 10
10 = 10.
This Is True, So X Does Equal 1.75
Any locker with a number that is a multiple of 8, 12, and 75 will contain all three animals.
The least common multiple of these three numbers is

and so any multiples of 600 between 1 and 3500 will contain all three animals. These are 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, and 3000.
Why is the LCM 600? You can determine that using the prime factorizations of the three given numbers:



The LCM can be obtained by multiplying as many prime numbers together as are needed to contain the prime factorizations of the three numbers. This is obtained with

(at least three 2s to get the 8; at least one 3 and two of the previous 2s to get 12; and at least two 5s along with the previous 3 to get 75)
