the discriminant b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
13x^2-16x = x^2 -x
we need to get in it the standard form
subtract x^2 from each side
12x^2 -16x = -x
add x to each side
12x^2 -15x = 0
12x^2 -15x -0 =0
a=12 b=-15 c=0
b^2 -4ac
the discriminant = b^2
b^2 = (-15)2 = 225
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!
50/80, then divide it by ten so the answer is 5/8. Once the number can divide both numbers your good.
