Two trains, Train A and Train B weigh a total of 349 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The difference in their weights is 249 tons. What is the weight of each train?

Train A = 299 tons Train B = 50 tons

Step-by-step explanation:
Train A = x

Train B = y

x+y = 349

x= y +249

Plug in one equation into another

y+249+y= 349

Simplify

2y+249=349

Subtract 249 from both sides

2y=100

Divide both sides by 2

y=50

Plug it into the x equation to solve for x

x+50=349

-50 from both sides

x=299

(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
