a = 4; b = 54; c = -198;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 542-4·4·(-198)
Δ = 6084
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{6084}=78$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(54)-78}{2*4}=\frac{-132}{8}
=-16+1/2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(54)+78}{2*4}=\frac{24}{8}
=3
