We get rid of parentheses

-450x^2+20x-15x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-450x^2+5x=0

a = -450; b = 5; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·(-450)·0
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-5}{2*-450}=\frac{-10}{-900}
=1/90
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+5}{2*-450}=\frac{0}{-900}
=0
