Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·1·3
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-2}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+2}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2}
=-1
