Find the standard deviation - how do I plug in numbers to this formula

The quiz scores are below.
 
5 3 9 10 9 9 10
10 10 9 6 4 9 9 
 
The formula is s =     Σ (x--x)2
                            √ -----------
                               (n-1)
 
The -x is X Bar aka the sample mean which I found is 8.
The square root sign above holds both the numerator and denominator if that was not clear
 
So I am a bit confused as to what to do next. The Σ of x is 112. n-1 is 13.
