Step-by-step explanation:

notice the picture of the graph added here
low and behold, x = -17, y is 0, and x= 15, y is 0
the graph is touching the x-axis, an x-intercept
or so-called, a "solution"
-2y^2 + 6y + 2 = 0
a = -2, b = 6, c = 2
x = (- b + - sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)
x=(-6+-sqrt(36-4*-2*2))/-4
x=(-6+-sqrt(36+16))/-4
x=(-6+-sqrt(52))/-4
x = (-6 +- 2sqrt13)/-4
x = (3 + - sqrt13)/2
