a = -1; b = 2; c = +48;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-1)·48
Δ = 196
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-14}{2*-1}=\frac{-16}{-2}
=+8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+14}{2*-1}=\frac{12}{-2}
=-6
