Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -62-4·1·2
Δ = 28
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{28}=\sqrt{4*7}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{7}=2\sqrt{7}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)-2\sqrt{7}}{2*1}=\frac{6-2\sqrt{7}}{2} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)+2\sqrt{7}}{2*1}=\frac{6+2\sqrt{7}}{2} $
