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).

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

When you take the cube root of -27, -3 is your answer. To double check, just cube -3 (or -3 x -3 x -3) and you can see you get -27.
