a = -96; b = 5; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·(-96)·0
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-5}{2*-96}=\frac{-10}{-192}
=5/96
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+5}{2*-96}=\frac{0}{-192}
=0
