a = -16; b = 40; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 402-4·(-16)·(-20)
Δ = 320
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{320}=\sqrt{64*5}=\sqrt{64}*\sqrt{5}=8\sqrt{5}$
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(40)-8\sqrt{5}}{2*-16}=\frac{-40-8\sqrt{5}}{-32} $
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(40)+8\sqrt{5}}{2*-16}=\frac{-40+8\sqrt{5}}{-32} $
