a = -18; b = 9; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 92-4·(-18)·0
Δ = 81
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{81}=9$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)-9}{2*-18}=\frac{-18}{-36}
=1/2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(9)+9}{2*-18}=\frac{0}{-36}
=0
