a = 1; b = -2; c = -18;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·1·(-18)
Δ = 76
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{76}=\sqrt{4*19}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{19}=2\sqrt{19}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-2\sqrt{19}}{2*1}=\frac{2-2\sqrt{19}}{2} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+2\sqrt{19}}{2*1}=\frac{2+2\sqrt{19}}{2} $
