a = 1; b = -1; c = -198;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·1·(-198)
Δ = 793
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{-(-1)-\sqrt{793}}{2*1}=\frac{1-\sqrt{793}}{2}
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{793}}{2*1}=\frac{1+\sqrt{793}}{2}
