15x^2-8x-12=0
a = 15; b = -8; c = -12;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -82-4·15·(-12)
Δ = 784
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{784}=28$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-28}{2*15}=\frac{-20}{30} =-2/3 $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+28}{2*15}=\frac{36}{30} =1+1/5 $
