Let n is the number of marbles.
when marbles are equally shared among 6, 7 or 8 students, each time 4 marbles left over.
To find the least number of marbles, first we find out what is the smallest number that can be divided to 6, 7 and 8.
Now you see that 6 and 8 are divisible by 2 but 7 is non- divisible.
if we take LCM of 6, 7 and 8 and find the smallest number.
2 I6,7,8
   -------
    3,7,4
Now multiply 2,3,7 and 4
2 x 3 x7 x 4 = 168
each time 4 marbles left so
least possible number of marbles in the box = 168 + 4 = 172

X = 29 and y = 101.

To find this, you need to set up an equation.

6x - 95 = 79. Once you solve this, x would equal 29.

Since 6x - 95 and y are on a straight line, they would have to equal 180. So you make another equation except you plug in 29 for x this time.

6(29) - 95 + y = 180. Once you solve this, y would equal 101.

Consider the expression √(√625).
const2013 [10]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Square Root - Finding a number that multiplies itself twice into the number within the square root

With this meaning, we need to find a number that multiplies itself into 625.

Finding calculations using exponents will help,

25^2 is equal to 625. Therefore \sqrt{25}

We are not finished, as there is another square root right after, empowering the parenthesis, so what number multiplies itself equals 25?

This would be 5, therefore \sqrt{(\sqrt{625}) } is equal to 5.
