Simplify the expression.

|–5 – 8|

–12

–13

12

13

13

Step-by-step explanation: Before taking the absolute value of a number, always simplify what's inside the absolute value as much as possible.

So here we have -5 - 8 inside the absolute value which can be thought of as -5 + -8 or -13. So we have |-13| which is +13.

Remember, absolute value means distance from zero on a number line so the absolute value of any number will be the positive version of that number.

(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
