a = -3; b = 21; c = +1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 212-4·(-3)·1
Δ = 453
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(21)-\sqrt{453}}{2*-3}=\frac{-21-\sqrt{453}}{-6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(21)+\sqrt{453}}{2*-3}=\frac{-21+\sqrt{453}}{-6}
