Use the quadratic formula to solve for x

x+=+%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F%282a%29

x+=+%28-%2814%29%2B-sqrt%28%2814%29%5E2-4%281%29%2848%29%29%29%2F%282%281%29%29

x+=+%28-14%2B-sqrt%28196-%28192%29%29%29%2F%282%29

x+=+%28-14%2B-sqrt%284%29%29%2F2

x+=+%28-14%2Bsqrt%284%29%29%2F2 or x+=+%28-14-sqrt%284%29%29%2F2

x+=+%28-14%2B2%29%2F2 or x+=+%28-14-2%29%2F2

x+=+-12%2F2 or x+=+-16%2F2

x+=+-6 or x+=+-8
