Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-10}{2*-2}=\frac{-12}{-4} =+3 $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+10}{2*-2}=\frac{8}{-4} =-2 $
