Say that you want to find the inverse of
$$a=e^{x^2} (1+\text{erf}(x))$$ which, I suppose, does not show any closed form solution.
Better is to consider instead the problem of the inverse of
$$b=\log\Big(e^{x^2} (1+\text{erf}(x))\Big) \quad \text{with} \quad b=\log(a)$$
What we can notice is that $\large\color{red}{x_0=\sqrt b}$ is a decent approximation. For example, for $b=4$, the "exact" solution is $1.81986$. Moreover
$$0\leq\log \left(e^b
\left(1+\text{erf}\left(\sqrt{b}\right)\right)\right)-b < \log(2)$$
By Darboux theorem, we also know that, $x_0$ being an over estimate, the solution by Newton method will converge without any overshoot. For the given example, $x_1=1.82774$, $x_2=1.81988$.
This means that we can have $\color{red}{\text{explicit}}$ approximate solutions using the first iterate of Newton-like methods of order $n$ starting at $x_0=\sqrt b$.
A few numbers for illustration
$$\left(
\begin{array}{cccccc}
b & x_1^{(2)} & x_1^{(3)}& x_1^{(4)}& x_1^{(5)} & \text{solution}\\
0.5 & 0.42132 & 0.38998 & 0.38861 & 0.38872 & 0.38872 \\
1.0 & 0.72532 & 0.69733 & 0.69579 & 0.69586 & 0.69586 \\
1.5 & 0.97265 & 0.95039 & 0.94912 & 0.94914 & 0.94915 \\

2.5 & 1.36912 & 1.35533 & 1.35461 & 1.35460 & 1.35460\\

4.0 & 1.82774 & 1.82018 & 1.81987 & 1.81986 & 1.81986 \\
4.5 & 1.95850 & 1.95211 & 1.95186 & 1.95186 & 1.95186 \\
5.0 & 2.08138 & 2.07589 & 2.07570 & 2.07570 & 2.07570 \\
\end{array}
\right)$$
Edit
It is possible to find a better $x_0$ since the solution is such that
$$\sqrt{b-\log (2)} < x < \sqrt{b}$$
So, working an initial estimate of the form
$$x_0=\sqrt{b-\log (2) \,f(b)} $$ such that $f(0)=0$ and $f(\infty)=1$
Some empirical analysis leads to propose the simplistic
$$f(b)=\text{erf}\left(\frac{253}{321} x^{\frac 7{10}}\right)$$ This was obtained by a quick and dirty nonlinear regression for $0\leq b \leq 5$ which correspond to an adjusted $R^2=0.99995$.
