a = 4; b = 64; c = +96;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 642-4·4·96
Δ = 2560
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{2560}=\sqrt{256*10}=\sqrt{256}*\sqrt{10}=16\sqrt{10}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(64)-16\sqrt{10}}{2*4}=\frac{-64-16\sqrt{10}}{8}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(64)+16\sqrt{10}}{2*4}=\frac{-64+16\sqrt{10}}{8}
