-1=2x+x^2-4x^2

Solution for -1=2x+x^2-4x^2 equation:

-1=2x+x^2-4x^2

We move all terms to the left:

-1-(2x+x^2-4x^2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-x^2+4x^2-2x-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x^2-2x-1=0

a = 3; b = -2; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -22-4·3·(-1)
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)-4}{2*3}=\frac{-2}{6}
=-1/3
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-2)+4}{2*3}=\frac{6}{6}
=1
