a = 7; b = 35; c = -168;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 352-4·7·(-168)
Δ = 5929
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{5929}=77$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(35)-77}{2*7}=\frac{-112}{14}
=-8
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(35)+77}{2*7}=\frac{42}{14}
=3
