Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 132-4·(-40)·0
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(13)-13}{2*-40}=\frac{-26}{-80}
=13/40
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(13)+13}{2*-40}=\frac{0}{-80}
=0
