Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -92-4·1·20
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)-1}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)+1}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
