So remember that in a quadratic equation there is a type of quadratic equation of the form ax^2+bx+c=0 so to find what values of a, b, and c you need for the quadratic formula, you need to look at your equation and label a, b, and c. In this equation a=6, b=5 and c=-4. So for the quadratic formula you would use a=6, b=5 and C=-4. I hope this helps!!!!!
