-50x^2+4x+(-5x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-50x^2+4x-5x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-50x^2-1x=0

a = -50; b = -1; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·(-50)·0
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-1}{2*-50}=\frac{0}{-100}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+1}{2*-50}=\frac{2}{-100}
=-1/50
