Mgmat number properties

by Tanz2012 » Thu Aug 30, 2012 12:32 pm
Hi,
On mgmat number properties guide I came accross a problem which asks if xcube-x=p and x is odd, then is p divisible by 24? The answer provided says yes. However my question is what if x is 1?

I will be very grateful if someone can kindly answer the query.

Kr,
Tanz

Also it does not say whether p is greater than 0 or not.
