Generic Equation
1. The problem statement is not provided clearly, so I will assume you want a generic algebraic equation solved.
2. To solve an equation such as $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, use the quadratic formula:
$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$
3. You substitute values for $a$, $b$, and $c$ from your specific equation.
4. Calculate the discriminant $\Delta = b^2 - 4ac$.
5. If $\Delta > 0$, there are two distinct real roots; if $\Delta = 0$, one real root; if $\Delta < 0$, complex roots.
6. Calculate the roots accordingly.
Please provide a specific equation for exact steps.
