30% decrease
175 divided by 250 = 0.7
1 - 0.7 = 0.3
0.3 = 30%
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Given the equation: 
A quadratic equation is in the form:  where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :
 where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :
 ......[1]
 ......[1]
On comparing with given equation we get;
a =3 , b = 10 
then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

Simplify:

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is  
 
i.e,

Here, 
 ,     ......[2]
 ,     ......[2]
 .....[3]
       .....[3]
then;

simplify:

or

Squaring both sides we get;

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

Simplify:
-12c = -96
Divide both sides by -12 we get;
c = 8
Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve 

or
 or
 or

Simplify:

Now, to solve for  ;
 ;
 
or
 or
 or

Simplify:

therefore, the solution for the given equation is:  and -2.
 and -2.
