a = 1; b = -2; c = -120;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-120)
Δ = 484
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{484}=22$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-22}{2*1}=\frac{-20}{2} =-10 $
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+22}{2*1}=\frac{24}{2} =12 $
