Consider nonnegative integer solutions of the equation x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6=30. How many different solutions are there? How many solutions also satisfy: for every i∈{1,2,3,4,5,6}, xi​ is positive and even?
Suppose we have positive integers a, b, and c, such that that a and b are not relatively prime, but c is relatively prime to both a and b . Let n = s × a + t × b be some linear combination of a and b, where s and t are integers. Prove that n cannot be a divisor of c.   Follow the definition of relative primes, and use contradiction.
