a = 20; b = 31; c = +12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 312-4·20·12
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(31)-1}{2*20}=\frac{-32}{40}
=-4/5
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(31)+1}{2*20}=\frac{-30}{40}
=-3/4
