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

Solve for x: 4(x + 2) = 3(x − 2)<br><br>A) −2<br>B)−4<br>C) −10<br>D) −14
BARSIC [14]

4(x+2)=3(x-2)

Multiply the first bracket by 4

Multiply the second bracket by 3

4x+8=3x-6

Move 3x to the left hand side, whenever moving a number with a letter the sign changes ( positive 3x to negative 3x)

4x-3x+8=3x-3x-6

x+8=-6

Move positive 8 to the right hand side

x+8-8=-6-8

x=-14

Check answer by using substitution method

Use x=-14 into both of the equations

4(-14+2)=3(-14-2)

-56+8=-42-6

-48=-48

Answer is -14- D)
