\left(-x+4\right)^{2}=-4
Subtracting 4 from itself leaves 0.
-x+4=2i -x+4=-2i
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
-x+4-4=2i-4 -x+4-4=-2i-4
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
-x=2i-4 -x=-2i-4
Subtracting 4 from itself leaves 0.
-x=-4+2i
Subtract 4 from 2i.
-x=-4-2i
Subtract 4 from -2i.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-4+2i}{-1} \frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{-4-2i}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{-4+2i}{-1} x=\frac{-4-2i}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=4-2i
Divide -4+2i by -1.
x=4+2i
Divide -4-2i by -1.
x=4-2i x=4+2i
The equation is now solved.
