Δ = 64
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{64}=8$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-8}{2*1}=\frac{4}{2}
=2
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+8}{2*1}=\frac{20}{2}
=10
