a = -1; b = 6; c = +7;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·(-1)·7
Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-8}{2*-1}=\frac{-14}{-2}
=+7
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+8}{2*-1}=\frac{2}{-2}
=-1
