A = ?
b = ?
Please explain as well :)

a = 25 , b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

For A

a/5 + 3 = 8

a/5 = 8 - 3

a/5 = 5

Cross multiply

a = 5 * 5

a = 25

For B

3b/7 - 1 = 5

3b/7 = 5 + 1

3b/7 = 6

Cross multiply

3b = 42

b = 42 / 3

b = 14

Hope it will help

(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
