a = 240; b = -7; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -72-4·240·0
Δ = 49
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{49}=7$
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)-7}{2*240}=\frac{0}{480}
=0
$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-7)+7}{2*240}=\frac{14}{480}
=7/240
