a = -3; b = -15; c = +2;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -152-4·(-3)·2
Δ = 249
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-15)-\sqrt{249}}{2*-3}=\frac{15-\sqrt{249}}{-6}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-15)+\sqrt{249}}{2*-3}=\frac{15+\sqrt{249}}{-6}
