a = 3; b = 10; c = -8;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·3·(-8)
Δ = 196
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14$
$c_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)-14}{2*3}=\frac{-24}{6}
=-4
$
$c_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+14}{2*3}=\frac{4}{6}
=2/3
