i don′t think a general solution (formula)  is possible.  assume a≥b≥c, we can say:  if d<(√((a−c)×min(a−b,b−c))) ⇒no solution.  if d≥(√((a−c)×min(a−b,b−c)))  one or two solutions exist which lie  in the range x≤c or x≥a. but a formula  for the roots is not possible.  as for the example a=4,b=3,c=2,  (√((4−2)×min(1,1)))=(√2)  therefore for d=1<(√2) there is no solution.  see diagram.  MJS sir has given the same statement.
