Abox of fruit has three times as many nectarines as grapefruit. together there are 36 pieces of fruit. how many pieces of each type of fruit are there? write an equation to repsent this problem

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18

answer: the answer is c.

step-by-step explanation:

she’s dividing 1/3 of the flour into 2 jars.

hope this : )
