Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -402-4·2.7·9.5
Δ = 1497.4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$t_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-40)-\sqrt{1497.4}}{2*2.7}=\frac{40-\sqrt{1497.4}}{5.4}
$
$t_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-40)+\sqrt{1497.4}}{2*2.7}=\frac{40+\sqrt{1497.4}}{5.4}
