Δ = 1300
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1300}=\sqrt{100*13}=\sqrt{100}*\sqrt{13}=10\sqrt{13}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-38)-10\sqrt{13}}{2*3}=\frac{38-10\sqrt{13}}{6} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-38)+10\sqrt{13}}{2*3}=\frac{38+10\sqrt{13}}{6} $
