Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 182-4·2·1
Δ = 316
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{316}=\sqrt{4*79}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{79}=2\sqrt{79}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)-2\sqrt{79}}{2*2}=\frac{-18-2\sqrt{79}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)+2\sqrt{79}}{2*2}=\frac{-18+2\sqrt{79}}{4}
