Write and solve a word problem that can be modeled by the product 12x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike is at the shop for school supplies. He sees some pencils he wants to buy. He sees that if he buys twelve of the same item, the store will take off $8. How much will twelve pencils cost at the store if one pencil is $5.99?

Equation: 12x-8

12x-8 =

12(5.99) - 8 =

71.88 - 8 =

$63.88

Hope this helps:)

i need more information to answer

(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
