a = 1; b = -2; c = -80;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-80)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-18}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+18}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
