Δ = 1264
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:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1264}=\sqrt{16*79}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{79}=4\sqrt{79}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)-4\sqrt{79}}{2*15}=\frac{8-4\sqrt{79}}{30} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-8)+4\sqrt{79}}{2*15}=\frac{8+4\sqrt{79}}{30} $
