Wy multiply elements

-128x^2+6x=0

a = -128; b = 6; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·(-128)·0
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-6}{2*-128}=\frac{-12}{-256}
=3/64
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+6}{2*-128}=\frac{0}{-256}
=0
