Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 152-4·1·36
Δ = 81
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{81}=9$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)-9}{2*1}=\frac{-24}{2}
=-12
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)+9}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
