a = -3; b = 18; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 182-4·(-3)·1
Δ = 336
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{336}=\sqrt{16*21}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{21}=4\sqrt{21}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)-4\sqrt{21}}{2*-3}=\frac{-18-4\sqrt{21}}{-6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)+4\sqrt{21}}{2*-3}=\frac{-18+4\sqrt{21}}{-6}
