#### Abstract

In this paper, we determine the general solution of the quartic equation f(x+2y)+f(x-2y)+6f(x) = 4[f(x+y)+f(x-y)+6f(y)] for all x, $y\;\in\;\mathbb{R}$ without assuming any regularity conditions on the unknown function f. The method used for solving this quartic functional equation is elementary but exploits an important result due to M. Hosszu [3]. The solution of this functional equation is also determined in certain commutative groups using two important results due to L. Szekelyhidi [5].
