marbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omar0913 @omar0913 (942) • Legaspi, Philippines 7 Mar 08

A jar contains 40 to 50 marbles. If the marbles are taken out of the jar 3 at a time, 2 marbles will be left. If the marbles are taken out 5 at a time, 4 marbles will be left, so the question is, how many marbles are in the jar?
