For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:


-3x ^ 2 + 1467x-86940 = 0

If we divide both sides of the equation by 3 we have:


-x ^ 2 + 489-28980 = 0

The solutions will come from:


x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2 (a)}

Where:


a = -1\\b = 489\\c = -28980

Substituting:


x = \frac {-489 \pm \sqrt {(489) ^ 2-4 (-1) (- 28980)}} {2 (-1)}\\x = \frac {-489 \pm \sqrt {239121-115920}} {- 2}\\x = \frac {-489 \pm \sqrt {123201}} {- 2}\\x = \frac {-489 \pm351} {- 2}

The roots are:


x_ {1} = \frac {-489 + 351} {- 2} = \frac {-138} {- 2} = 69\\x_ {2} = \frac {-489-351} {- 2} = \frac {-840} {- 2} = 420

ANswer:


x_ {1} = 69\\x_ {2} = 420
