Combine the like terms to create an equivalent expression: -12 - 6p - (-2)

-6p -10

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 - 6p - (-2)

Subtracting a negative is like adding

-12 - 6p + (2)

Combine like terms

-6p -12+2

-6p -10

-6p=10

Step-by-step explanation:

-12 - 6p - (-2)  to combine like expression

-12-6p+2

-6p-10 to create equivalent expression an equal sign is used

-6p=10

(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

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
