.) 3x –9y=-18
What is the answer to this

Solving steps:

3x - 9y = -18

divide both sides by 3

3x - 18 + 9y

therefore, x = 6+3y

We cannot solve this further, therefore x = 6 + 3y

(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
