Final answer:

To determine the value of x, given a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, use the quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a) after correctly identifying the values of a, b, and c. However, the equation provided seems to have some typographical errors and might need clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question appears to require solving a quadratic equation to determine the value of x. A quadratic equation is typically of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, and the provided equation fits this model. To solve for x, we would use the quadratic formula, which is x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / (2a).

After identifying the values of a, b, and c from the equation provided by the student, we substitute them into the quadratic formula to find the possible values for x. The equation would first need to be rewritten clearly in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0 because the '+' signs appear to be represented as '+' which is likely a typo. If the student provided more context or the complete quadratic equation without typos, a more accurate solution could be given.
