Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -92-4·1·14
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$p_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)-5}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$p_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)+5}{2*1}=\frac{14}{2}
=7
