Δ = 3242-4·(-72)·0
Δ = 104976
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{104976}=324$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(324)-324}{2*-72}=\frac{-648}{-144} =4+1/2 $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(324)+324}{2*-72}=\frac{0}{-144} =0 $
