a = -5; b = -45; c = +2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -452-4·(-5)·2
Δ = 2065
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-45)-\sqrt{2065}}{2*-5}=\frac{45-\sqrt{2065}}{-10}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-45)+\sqrt{2065}}{2*-5}=\frac{45+\sqrt{2065}}{-10}
