#### Abstract

In this paper, we obtain the general solution of the following cubic type functional equation and establish the stability of this equation (0.1) $kf({{\sum}\limits^{n-1}_{j=1}}x_j+kx_n)+kf({{\sum}\limits^{n-1}_{j=1}}x_j-kx_n)+2{{\sum}\limits^{n-1}_{j=1}}f(kx_j)+(k^3-1)(n-1)[f(x_1)+f(-x_1)]=2kf({\sum\limits^{n-1}_{j=1}}x_j)=K^3{\sum\limits^{n-1}_{j=1}[f(x_j+x_n)+f(x_j-x_n)]$ for any integers k and n with k ${\geq}$ 2 and n ${\geq}$ 3.
