Maddie cuts a 6 yard length of ribbon into 1/3 yard pieces. How many cuts did she make?
A) 17 cuts
B) 12 cuts
C) 8 cuts
D) 18 cuts

a) what number, when added to negative four, is equal to negative five?

step-by-step explanation:

(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
