-210x^2+7x+(-5x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-210x^2+7x-5x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-210x^2+2x=0

a = -210; b = 2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-210)·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2}{2*-210}=\frac{-4}{-420}
=1/105
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2}{2*-210}=\frac{0}{-420}
=0
