a = 1; b = -13; c = -30;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -132-4·1·(-30)
Δ = 289
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{289}=17$
$a_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-13)-17}{2*1}=\frac{-4}{2}
=-2
$
$a_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-13)+17}{2*1}=\frac{30}{2}
=15
