Assuming that "x2" means x squared (x^2):

x^2 - 4x - 32 = 0

factoring*

(x-8)(x+4) = 0

So the roots are 8 and -4.

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "symbolic answer."

*If you don't see how to factor this trinomial, you can still apply the quadratic formula to get the same answer without being "clever."

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
