Afirst year master chef was hired in whitehorse, yukon at an annual salary of $52,000. what would her gross pay each pay cheque be if she was paid semi-monthly?

(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

the answer is y < -3 or   y > 3

-3y > 7 + 2

-3 y > 9

y < -3
