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

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1681}=41$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(19)-41}{2*5}=\frac{-60}{10}
=-6
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(19)+41}{2*5}=\frac{22}{10}
=2+1/5
