Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 132-4·1·36
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(13)-5}{2*1}=\frac{-18}{2}
=-9
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(13)+5}{2*1}=\frac{-8}{2}
=-4
