Answer:
Yes. Her solution is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check if Jenna solution is correct:
To solve the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0, we can use Bhaskara's formula:
D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*2*42 = 25+336 = 361
sqrt(D) = 19
x1 = (-5 + 19)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2
x2 = (-5 - 19)/4 = -24/4 = -6
We must agree with Jenna's solution, because the values she found as solution are correct: with we replace these values of x in the equation, we will find 0 = 0, which is correct and proves that these values are the solution of the equation.
Answer:
a=6
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the value of a you need to simplify the equation first. so...
3(a+3)-6=21 (you remove the bracket first)
3a+9-6=21
3a+3=21 (you collect the like terms then)
3a=21-3
3a=18 (then you both divide both sides by 3 to find the value of a)
a=18/3
a=6
to check your answer substitute 3 instead of a
3(a+3)-6=21
3(6+3)-6=21
3(9)-6=21 (according to BODMAS since multiplication comes first you multiply 3 with 9 before subtracting it from 6.)
29-6=21
21=21
