Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -302-4·3·2
Δ = 876
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:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{876}=\sqrt{4*219}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{219}=2\sqrt{219}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-30)-2\sqrt{219}}{2*3}=\frac{30-2\sqrt{219}}{6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-30)+2\sqrt{219}}{2*3}=\frac{30+2\sqrt{219}}{6}
