Marta has collected 42 apples, 60 apricots and 90 cherries. She wants to divide them into identical piles using all of the fruit and then give a pile to some of her friends. What is the largest number of piles she can make?

6 piles  (7 apples, 10 apricots and 15 cherries each in one pile)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
