solving x^4 - 13x^3 + 31x^2 + 126 = 0 is not easy.
Wolfram is a powerful website that gives us the following:

Notice we have 2 reals, and 2 complex roots.
Since we are given exact real roots of 7 ± √7, suggests that Wolfram used a formula
There is indeed such a formula but it is extremely complicated. Google "solving quartic equations"
If you know Calculus, you should try Netwon's Method
