Δ = 289
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{289}=17$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(23)-17}{2*15}=\frac{-40}{30}
=-1+1/3
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(23)+17}{2*15}=\frac{-6}{30}
=-1/5
