Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 192-4·1·18
Δ = 289
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{289}=17$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(19)-17}{2*1}=\frac{-36}{2}
=-18
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(19)+17}{2*1}=\frac{-2}{2}
=-1
