We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{8080}=\sqrt{16*505}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{505}=4\sqrt{505}$
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-4\sqrt{505}}{2*16}=\frac{20-4\sqrt{505}}{32} $
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+4\sqrt{505}}{2*16}=\frac{20+4\sqrt{505}}{32} $
