She is correct.
120-36=84=2^2*3*7
The key is to notice that if the two numbers are a and b, then gcf(a,b) | a-b ---> this means that the greatest common factor of a and b divides their difference. Also,    a-b> gcf(a,b)
So, the only case to consider is if gcf(a,b)=2 and a-b=42.
This is clearly possible to find 2 such numbers a,b (one example would be 62 and 20).

PtichkaEL [24]
This question was once asked before so I will put it here.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
