I'm assuming that you want to solve for "x" right?

Start with the quadratic formula

Plug in , , and . Note: there are two different "a" terms here...

Negate to get .

Square to get .

Multiply to get

Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4

or Break up the "plus/minus" to form two equations.

So the solutions are or

If we knew the value of "a", then we could continue simplifying.
