Can i get an answer and the steps to answer

5+(8²-2) *2

Here we will use PEMDAS rule.

P

Parentheses first

E

Exponents (ie Powers and Square Roots, etc.)

MD

Multiplication and Division (left-to-right)

AS

Addition and Subtraction (left-to-right)

Step 1:

P- parenthesis first.

(8²-2)

E- exponents

8² = 8*8 =64

subtracting 64-2 = 62

5 + 62*2

Step 2:

Multiplication and division.

multiplying 62 *2 = 124

5+124

Step 3:

Addition: adding 5+124

129

(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
