Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·40·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2}{2*40}=\frac{-4}{80}
=-1/20
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2}{2*40}=\frac{0}{80}
=0
