Solve x^2-4x=-2 - ScanMath

Evaluate

x^{2} - 4 x = - 2

Move the expression to the left side

x^{2} - 4 x + 2 = 0

Substitute a= 1,b= - 4 and c= 2 into the quadratic formula x = \frac{- b \pm b ^{2} - 4 a c}{2 a}

x = \frac{4 \pm ( - 4 ) ^{2} - 4 \times 2}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = \frac{4 \pm 8}{2}

Simplify the radical expression

More Steps

x = \frac{4 \pm 2 2}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{4 + 2 2}{2} x = \frac{4 - 2 2}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = 2 + 2 x = \frac{4 - 2 2}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = 2 + 2 x = 2 - 2

Solution

x_{1} = 2 - 2, x_{2} = 2 + 2

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx 0.585786, x_{2} \approx 3.414214
