22x4−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
22x4=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
22x4=2
Divide both sides
2222x4=222
Divide the numbers
x4=222
Cancel out the common factor 2
x4=111
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±4111
