a = -48; b = 4; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·(-48)·0
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-4}{2*-48}=\frac{-8}{-96}
=1/12
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+4}{2*-48}=\frac{0}{-96}
=0
