a = -5; b = 0; c = +80;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·(-5)·80
Δ = 1600
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1600}=40$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-40}{2*-5}=\frac{-40}{-10}
=+4
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+40}{2*-5}=\frac{40}{-10}
=-4
