a = 1; b = -9; c = -18;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -92-4·1·(-18)
Δ = 153
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{153}=\sqrt{9*17}=\sqrt{9}*\sqrt{17}=3\sqrt{17}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)-3\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{9-3\sqrt{17}}{2} $
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-9)+3\sqrt{17}}{2*1}=\frac{9+3\sqrt{17}}{2} $
