We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2432x^2+352x=0

a = 2432; b = 352; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 3522-4·2432·0
Δ = 123904
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{123904}=352$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(352)-352}{2*2432}=\frac{-704}{4864}
=-11/76
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(352)+352}{2*2432}=\frac{0}{4864}
=0
