Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·3·(-548)
Δ = 6601
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-\sqrt{6601}}{2*3}=\frac{-5-\sqrt{6601}}{6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+\sqrt{6601}}{2*3}=\frac{-5+\sqrt{6601}}{6}
