Basically, when you have a second order algebraic equation, which have the general form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, for any constants a, b, and c, you can use the quadratic equation to find the values of x. Sometimes though it is easier to factor the expression into (fx+g)(hx+i) = 0, for any constants f, g, h, and i, and then solve the two resulting equations fx+g = 0 and hx+i=0 for the values of x.
