1/2 and - 15

Explanation:

Use the new Transforming Method (Google Search):
f(d) = 2d^2 + 29d - 15 = 0
Transformed equation:
f'(d) = d^2 + 29d - 30 = 0
Proceeding: Find 2 real roots of f'(d), then, divide them by a = 2.
Since a + b + c = 0, use shortcut. The 2 real roots are: 1 and
c/a = -30.
Back to f(d) --> The 2 real roots are: x1 = 1/(a) = 1/2 and
x2 = -30/a = -30/2 = - 15
