a = -648; b = 176; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 1762-4·(-648)·0
Δ = 30976
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{30976}=176$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(176)-176}{2*-648}=\frac{-352}{-1296}
=22/81
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(176)+176}{2*-648}=\frac{0}{-1296}
=0
