a = 3; b = 10; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·3·(-20)
Δ = 340
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{340}=\sqrt{4*85}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{85}=2\sqrt{85}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)-2\sqrt{85}}{2*3}=\frac{-10-2\sqrt{85}}{6} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+2\sqrt{85}}{2*3}=\frac{-10+2\sqrt{85}}{6} $
