Answer:
x=60.56, x=-82.56
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve using quadratic formula
Formula is
0.05x^2 + 1.1x = 250
Subtract 250 on both sides
0.05x^2 + 1.1x - 250=0
a= 0.05, b=1.1 , c=-250
Plug in the values in the formula
Now make two equations , one with + and one with -
then we solve for x
x=60.56
x=-82.56
