Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·(-180)·0
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-4}{2*-180}=\frac{-8}{-360}
=1/45
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+4}{2*-180}=\frac{0}{-360}
=0
