I think it is 339.6.

This is based on the assumption that you are using the following equation:

#Deltax= v_ot+1/2at^2# (#Deltay# if you're working in the vertical direction).

If this is the case then this is just a simplified version, and you've just moved over the #Deltax# to the other side and set the equation to equal zero. In this case, you can figure that the component next to #t^2# is going to be #a#, or acceleration, the constant will be displacement (#Deltax#), and the component next to #t# must be #v_o#, or initial velocity.

Therefore, your initial velocity is 339.6 (in whatever units pertain to your problem).

Hope that helped :)
