x^{2}+1=4-4x+x^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2-x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}+1+4x=4+x^{2}
Add 4x to both sides.
x^{2}+1+4x-x^{2}=4
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
1+4x=4
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x=4-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
4x=3
Subtract 1 from 4 to get 3.
x=\frac{3}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
