We are given the equation:

c = 500 + 1100 x – 100 x^2

 

Solve for x given the value of c = 2300

Rearrange and substitute:

- 100 x^2 + 1100 x + 500 = 2300

Divide everything by -100:

x^2 – 11 x – 5 = - 23

x^2 – 11 x = - 18

Completing the square:

(x – 11/2)^2 = - 18 + (11/2)^2

x – 11/2 = ±3.5

x = 2, 9

 

So x is 2 or 9
