a = 2; b = -1; c = -6;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·2·(-6)
Δ = 49
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{49}=7$
$n_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-7}{2*2}=\frac{-6}{4}
=-1+1/2
$
$n_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+7}{2*2}=\frac{8}{4}
=2
