Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -3362-4·6·1
Δ = 112872
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{112872}=\sqrt{4*28218}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{28218}=2\sqrt{28218}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-336)-2\sqrt{28218}}{2*6}=\frac{336-2\sqrt{28218}}{12}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-336)+2\sqrt{28218}}{2*6}=\frac{336+2\sqrt{28218}}{12}
