Wy multiply elements

-210x^2+7x=0

a = -210; b = 7; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 72-4·(-210)·0
Δ = 49
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{49}=7$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(7)-7}{2*-210}=\frac{-14}{-420}
=1/30
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(7)+7}{2*-210}=\frac{0}{-420}
=0
