We multiply parentheses
-15x^2+600x-180=0
a = -15; b = 600; c = -180;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 6002-4·(-15)·(-180)
Δ = 349200
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{349200}=\sqrt{3600*97}=\sqrt{3600}*\sqrt{97}=60\sqrt{97}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(600)-60\sqrt{97}}{2*-15}=\frac{-600-60\sqrt{97}}{-30} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(600)+60\sqrt{97}}{2*-15}=\frac{-600+60\sqrt{97}}{-30} $
