a = 2; b = -20; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·2·(-12)
Δ = 496
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{496}=\sqrt{16*31}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{31}=4\sqrt{31}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-4\sqrt{31}}{2*2}=\frac{20-4\sqrt{31}}{4} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+4\sqrt{31}}{2*2}=\frac{20+4\sqrt{31}}{4} $
