Onsider x + 4 = x + 8. what values could be substituted for x to make this a true
number sentence? explain how you know.

No because upon subtracting x on both sides you obtain a false equation of 4=8.

The problem:

What are x values that satisfy:

x+4=x+8?

Step-by-step explanation:

No number can be substituted into x+4=x+8 to make it true.

There is no number that you can find such that when you add 4 to it will give you the same as adding 8 to it.

Also if you subtract x on both sides you obtain the equation 4=8.

4=8 is not true so x+4=x+8 is never true for any x.

(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

what are the options? ?
