a = 4; b = -2; c = -6;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·4·(-6)
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-10}{2*4}=\frac{-8}{8}
=-1
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+10}{2*4}=\frac{12}{8}
=1+1/2
