a = 2; b = -1; c = -7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·2·(-7)
Δ = 57
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{-(-1)-\sqrt{57}}{2*2}=\frac{1-\sqrt{57}}{4}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+\sqrt{57}}{2*2}=\frac{1+\sqrt{57}}{4}
