Δ = 40
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{40}=\sqrt{4*10}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{10}=2\sqrt{10}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-2\sqrt{10}}{2*3}=\frac{16-2\sqrt{10}}{6} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+2\sqrt{10}}{2*3}=\frac{16+2\sqrt{10}}{6} $
