Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 112-4·2·14
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$m_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(11)-3}{2*2}=\frac{-14}{4}
=-3+1/2
$
$m_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(11)+3}{2*2}=\frac{-8}{4}
=-2
