a = -3; b = -30; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -302-4·(-3)·1
Δ = 912
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{912}=\sqrt{16*57}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{57}=4\sqrt{57}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-30)-4\sqrt{57}}{2*-3}=\frac{30-4\sqrt{57}}{-6} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-30)+4\sqrt{57}}{2*-3}=\frac{30+4\sqrt{57}}{-6} $
