    B.

    703 = 4 (72) + x

    Step-by-step explanation:

    total weight of marbles and jar = weight of marbles + weight of jar

    weight of marbles = number of marbles * weight of each marble

    = 72 * 4

    total weight of marbles and jar = 703

    weight of jar=x

    total weight of marbles and jar = weight of marbles + weight of jar

    703 = 72*4 + x
