Let x be the total number of marbles.

(x-4) is divisible by 6, 7 and 8., Calculate the LCM of 6, 7, and 8

(LCM = 8x3x7 = 168)

Then (x-4) = 168 and X = 172 (least possible number of marbles)

Solve the equation p^2 + 4p = 1 by completing the square.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2 + 4p = 1

Take the coefficient of p

4

Divide by 2

4/2 =2

Square it

2^2 = 4

Add it to each side

p^2 + 4p+4 = 1+4

(p+2) ^2 = 5

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((p+2) ^2) =±sqrt( 5)

p+2 = ±sqrt( 5)

Subtract 2 from each side

p+2-2 = -2 ±sqrt( 5)

p = -2 ±sqrt( 5)
