Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·(-60)·0
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-3}{2*-60}=\frac{-6}{-120}
=1/20
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+3}{2*-60}=\frac{0}{-120}
=0
