D. Add 21 to both sides of the equation.

The answer is b = 198.

Check the solution by substituting 198 for b.

Step-by-step explanation:

D. 21-21= 177+21=198

     0

198-21=177

(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

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
