a = -1; b = 15; c = -26;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 152-4·(-1)·(-26)
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)-11}{2*-1}=\frac{-26}{-2}
=+13
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)+11}{2*-1}=\frac{-4}{-2}
=+2
