We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-560x^2-448x=0

a = -560; b = -448; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -4482-4·(-560)·0
Δ = 200704
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{200704}=448$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-448)-448}{2*-560}=\frac{0}{-1120}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-448)+448}{2*-560}=\frac{896}{-1120}
=-4/5
