We multiply all the terms by the denominator


(-9x^2)+54x+36x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(-9x^2)+90x=0

We get rid of parentheses

-9x^2+90x=0

a = -9; b = 90; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 902-4·(-9)·0
Δ = 8100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{8100}=90$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(90)-90}{2*-9}=\frac{-180}{-18}
=+10
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(90)+90}{2*-9}=\frac{0}{-18}
=0
