a = -70; b = 13; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 132-4·(-70)·0
Δ = 169
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(13)-13}{2*-70}=\frac{-26}{-140}
=13/70
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(13)+13}{2*-70}=\frac{0}{-140}
=0
