3x -5x + 8x = 4x + 18

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

6x = 4x + 18

6x - 4x = 18

2x = 18

x = 9

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

3x−5x+8x=4x+18

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x−5x+8x=4x+18

3x+−5x+8x=4x+18

(3x+−5x+8x)=4x+18(Combine Like Terms)

6x=4x+18

6x=4x+18

Step 2: Subtract 4x from both sides.

6x−4x=4x+18−4x

2x=18

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

18

2

(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
