mx^3-4x^2+nx-6

set of equations:

-m-4-n-6=0

9m+n=14

The solution would be m=3 and n=-13

X=3 &x=-1 are solutions of equation mx^3-4x^2-nx-6 

putting x=3 and x=-1in above equation

we get

27x-36+3n-6=0

-m-4-n-6=0

on simplifying both these equations we get 9m+n=14

m+n=-10

 further solving both these equations we get m=3  and n= -13

X = 3 and X = -1 are solutions to polynomial: mX3-4x2+nx-6 = 0,solving for X = 327*m - (4*9) + (n*3) - 6 = 0, hence, 27m+3n=42, 9m+n = 14solving for X = -1(-1*m) - (4*1) + (n*-1) - 6 = 0, hence, -m-n= 10, m+n = -109m+n = 14, and m+n = -10, subtracting two equations, 8m = 24, hence m =3, n = -10-m = -10-3 = -13then, m=3, n=-13
