We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-574720x^2-8800x=0

a = -574720; b = -8800; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -88002-4·(-574720)·0
Δ = 77440000
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{77440000}=8800$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8800)-8800}{2*-574720}=\frac{0}{-1149440}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8800)+8800}{2*-574720}=\frac{17600}{-1149440}
=-55/3592
