We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1125}=\sqrt{225*5}=\sqrt{225}*\sqrt{5}=15\sqrt{5}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-15)-15\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{15-15\sqrt{5}}{2} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-15)+15\sqrt{5}}{2*1}=\frac{15+15\sqrt{5}}{2} $
