This expression is a perfect square trinomial. It has two answers but they don't have to be different. In this case it has to be the same - because it is a perfect square trinomial.

Hopefully the math was self-explanatory. If it is not, please feel free to ask for a step-by-step, in depth explanation, and I will edit my answer to accommodate.
Answer:
We need a sample size of at least 383.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
The margin of error is:

85% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
How large a sample would be required in order to estimate the fraction of tenth graders reading at or below the eighth grade level at the 85% confidence level with an error of at most 0.03
We need a sample size of at least n.
n is found with 
Then






Rounding up
We need a sample size of at least 383.
