Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -162-4·1·55
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$X_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)-6}{2*1}=\frac{10}{2}
=5
$
$X_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-16)+6}{2*1}=\frac{22}{2}
=11
