Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 92-4·2·7
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$k_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)-5}{2*2}=\frac{-14}{4}
=-3+1/2
$
$k_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)+5}{2*2}=\frac{-4}{4}
=-1
