Jiggle it around and use the quadratic formula. We don't normally do algebra homework.

Divide both sides of the equation by 1.15.

Use the distributive law to reexpress the left side.

Add 35 to both sides.

Divide both sides by 10.

Please show your work in your reply.

You'd like to know who... That is pretty ironic coming from an anonymous poster.
