Question
Solve the equation(The real numbers system)
x∈/R
Evaluate
x4=(x−2)×2
Evaluate
x4=2(x−2)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Evaluate
2(x−2)
Apply the distributive property
2x−2×2
Multiply the numbers
2x−4
x4=2x−4
Move the expression to the left side
x4−(2x−4)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
x4−2x+4=0
Solution
x∈/R
