quadratic formula again. since the numbers are large I would just recommend using a calculator.

jhellai20 · Answer

I think you're supposed to add 300 on both sides instead of substracting 1950

Vocaloid · Answer

^ politely disagree. The problem is asking for a solution to a quadratic equation. It needs to be in ax^2 + bx + c = 0 form which is why you need to subtract 1950.
