-72w^2+6w=0

a = -72; b = 6; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·(-72)·0
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$w_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-6}{2*-72}=\frac{-12}{-144}
=1/12
$
$w_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+6}{2*-72}=\frac{0}{-144}
=0
