rearrange the equation as, x^2 + 6x - 4 = 0
compare with the general form as follows,
(a) x^2 + (b) x + c = 0
which gives you, a = 1, b = 6 and c = -4
the quadratic formula for finding roots of x is,
x = [-b +/- sqrt (b^2-4ac)] / [2*a]
x = [-6 +/- sqrt (36-4(1)(-4))]/[2(1)]
x =[ -6 +/- sqrt 52 ]/2
x = -3 +/- [sqrt (13*4)]/2
x= -3 +/- [2sqrt13/2]
x = -3+/-sqrt(13)

x squared +6x-4=0
a=1,b=6,c=-4.
The quadratic formula is x=-b plus minus b squared-- 4 times a times c[all of this in the square root sign. For example, in this case,c it'd be 36-16=20. The square root of that.] divided by 2a.

This is not a perfect square, so if you use the quadratic formula, you should get
x = -3 (+/-) [ squart_root(20) / 2 ]
simplifying
x = -3 (+/-) squart_root(5)

x^2 + 6x - 4 = 0
if the equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0,
formula to find the roots is:
(- b (+-) sqroot (b^2-4ac)) / 2a
apply the formula
first root is
(- 6 + sqroot (36-16)) / 2 = -3 + 2 sqroot 5
second root is
-3 - 2 sqroot 5

x has two values
x1 = - 3+(13)^(1/2)
x2 = - 3 - (13)^(1/2)
GENERAL FORMULA IS
FOR a(x)^2 + bx +c = 0
x1 = (-b) + ( (b)^2 - 4ac)^(1/2)
x2 = (-b) - ((b)^2 - 4ac)^(1/2)
