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{-(-18)-8}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-18)+8}{2*1}=\frac{26}{2}
=13
