a = -900; b = 25; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 252-4·(-900)·0
Δ = 625
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{625}=25$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(25)-25}{2*-900}=\frac{-50}{-1800}
=1/36
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(25)+25}{2*-900}=\frac{0}{-1800}
=0
