Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 282-4·96·0
Δ = 784
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{784}=28$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(28)-28}{2*96}=\frac{-56}{192}
=-7/24
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(28)+28}{2*96}=\frac{0}{192}
=0
