Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -92-4·(-2)·5
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)-11}{2*-2}=\frac{-2}{-4}
=1/2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)+11}{2*-2}=\frac{20}{-4}
=-5
