How do you solve quadratic equations?

In any equation there is a variable (usually x). In a quadratic equation there is a lot involved.

-B (+or-) sqrt of b^2 - 4 x A x C
  divide it by
               2 x A
                                                   There is usually an original equation that looks like:  Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0    Use the variables from the equation to the left to fill the upper equation.  (You can also look up a better formula if confused).
