"The discriminant is prime?" I haven't heard that one before.
Here are the general rules:
1. a positive discriminant results in two real, unequal roots.
2. a zero discr. results in two real, equal roots.
3. a negative discr. results in two complex roots, which sometimes means two imaginary roots.

Let 6x represent the men
5x represents the women
The ratio of men to women is 6 to 5 or 6/5
6x / 5x = 1500/ W where W is the number of women
6/5 = 1500/W
W = 1250 women

Multiply the denominator until they have the same common denominator.
21/35 + 15/35
Add the numerators but NOT the denominators
Final Answer: 36/35 or 1 1/35</span>
She is correct because a negative subtracted by a negative is positive.
