Eg: 24936
Place value of 4 is 4x10 raised to the power of 3 or 4000
3x^2 + 6x - 10 = 0
3(x^2 + 2x) - 10 = 0
3[ (x + 1)^2 - 1 ] - 10 = 0
3(x+1)^2 - 13 = 0
so the vertex is at (-1,-13)
the roots will be same distance from x = -1
that is a distance 1.08 --1 = 2.08
so other root is approximately -1 -2.08 = -3.08
the other intercept is at (-3.08,0)
So, she buys 16 bags, each of them weights

pounds.
to find how many pounds of soil she bought, we have to multiply:
16*

=//16 is equal to 8*2, so we can simpify:
2*

which is 2*5=10
so in the end she bought 10 pounds of soil!
30% is .3 so 20 times .3 is 6 extra miles so 30 plus 6 is 36 miles
The answer to the problem is 299.85 m.
