Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-8}{2*-1}=\frac{-12}{-2} =+6 $
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+8}{2*-1}=\frac{4}{-2} =-2 $
