0 = - 4.9t {}^(2) + 27t + 2.4
Convert decimals to fractions


0 = - (49)/(10) t {}^(2) + 27t + (12)/(5)
Multiply both sides by 10


0 = - 49t {}^(2) + 270t + 24
Move expression to the left.


0 + 49t {}^(2) - 270t - 24 = 0
Remove zero.


49t {}^(2) - 270t - 24 = 0Solve the quadratic equation.


t = \frac{ - ( - 270) + - \sqrt{( - 270) {}^(2) - 4 * 49 * ( - 24) } }{2 * 49}
Remove parenthesis and calculate.


t = (270 + - √(72900 + 4704) )/(98)
Add the numbers


t = (270 + - 77604)/(98)
Separate the solutions


t = (270 + √(77604) )/(98) \\ t = (270 - √(77604) )/(98)
The final solution are

t1 = (270 - √(77604) )/(98) , t2 = (270 + √(77604) )/(98)
