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

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)-14}{2*3}=\frac{-30}{6}
=-5
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(16)+14}{2*3}=\frac{-2}{6}
=-1/3
