Δ = 676
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{676}=26$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-34)-26}{2*1}=\frac{8}{2}
=4
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-34)+26}{2*1}=\frac{60}{2}
=30
