Respuesta :
She had 4m marbles in the 4 bags
So number of marbles that Helena has = 4m + 3.
Answer:
Helena has [tex]4m+3[/tex] marbles in all.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of marbles be denoted by 'm'.
Helena found them and put them in 4 bags with m marbles in each bag.
Total marbles in 4 bags become = [tex]4\times m=4m[/tex]
Now, she had 3 marbles left over that didn't fit in the bags.
That gives total marbles as = [tex]4m+3[/tex]
We can solve this using an example.
Suppose Helena had 15 marbles in total.
She divides these in 4 bags, [tex]\frac{15}{4}=3[/tex] plus 3 extra.
Now, m = 3
So, putting the value of m as 3 in equation we get,
[tex]4(3)+3[/tex]
= [tex]12+3[/tex]
= 15
Therefore, we can say that Helena has
[tex]4m+3[/tex] marbles in all.
