Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -18722-4·124800·0
Δ = 3504384
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{3504384}=1872$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1872)-1872}{2*124800}=\frac{0}{249600}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1872)+1872}{2*124800}=\frac{3744}{249600}
=3/200
