Answer:
Jacey has 48 rocks. Carter has 6 rocks.
If Carter and Jacey are the only factor owners of 54 rocks
We divide 48 by 8 = 6 rocks: 42 difference;
Which is also 54 as 6 + 48 = 54
They now have 48 difference
6,6, 6,6, 6,6, 6,6 = 48
We see 48 - 6 = 42.
We also see 48 + 6 = 54
54=6 = 48
48 difference is the denominating divider; meaning 48/8 = 6 is how we first find the answer before adding on the 6 to show the difference of 8 equal shares.
She made her mistake at the first step. To simplify a radical, you would find two numbers that multiply by each other to get your original number (under the radical)
and have one of the number be a perfect square.
Her reasoning is wrong because 10*10 is not

. Had she been correct, her answer should have been able to be squared to equal

In other words, she should have done

(We used 25 because 25 is a perfect square, 5*5=25).
