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

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-35)-5}{2*5}=\frac{30}{10}
=3
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-35)+5}{2*5}=\frac{40}{10}
=4
