Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-3}{2*216}=\frac{-6}{432}
=-1/72
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+3}{2*216}=\frac{0}{432}
=0
