Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·(-1)·88
Δ = 361
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{361}=19$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-19}{2*-1}=\frac{-22}{-2}
=+11
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+19}{2*-1}=\frac{16}{-2}
=-8
