Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 82-4·1·15
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$z_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$z_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$z_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)-2}{2*1}=\frac{-10}{2}
=-5
$
$z_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(8)+2}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
