Answer:

4m + 3

Explanation:

  • There are 4 bag with m marbles in each, which means the total number of marbles is 4m.
  • Now, 3 are left over, therefore, the total number of marbles is 4m+3.

OR

  • There are 4 bags.
  • Have "m" marbles in each bag.
  • "4m"
  • "+3" that didn't fit in either of those bags.
  • So then, 4m+3
