Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 152-4·1·56
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$b_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$b_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$b_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)-1}{2*1}=\frac{-16}{2}
=-8
$
$b_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(15)+1}{2*1}=\frac{-14}{2}
=-7
