The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$b_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$b_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{169}=13$
$b_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-13}{2*3}=\frac{-18}{6}
=-3
$
$b_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+13}{2*3}=\frac{8}{6}
=1+1/3
