Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 182-4·1·45
Δ = 144
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{144}=12$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)-12}{2*1}=\frac{-30}{2}
=-15
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(18)+12}{2*1}=\frac{-6}{2}
=-3
