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.

Evaluate each expression for w=5, x=3, y=4 and z=8.<br> 3y+6/2x
Aliun [14]
Plug in your numbers so the equation will turn out to be 3(4)+6/2(3) , you need to simplify 6/2 which will be 3 and 3 times 3 = 9 so the equation will be 3(4)+9 and 3 times 4 = 12 so the equation will now be 12+9 = 21
Answer= 21
