4-2z=x\sqrt{\left(2-z\right)^{2}+4}
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 2-z.
4-2z=x\sqrt{4-4z+z^{2}+4}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(2-z\right)^{2}.
4-2z=x\sqrt{8-4z+z^{2}}
Add 4 and 4 to get 8.
x\sqrt{8-4z+z^{2}}=4-2z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\sqrt{z^{2}-4z+8}x=4-2z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\sqrt{z^{2}-4z+8}x}{\sqrt{z^{2}-4z+8}}=\frac{4-2z}{\sqrt{z^{2}-4z+8}}
Divide both sides by \sqrt{8-4z+z^{2}}.
x=\frac{4-2z}{\sqrt{z^{2}-4z+8}}
Dividing by \sqrt{8-4z+z^{2}} undoes the multiplication by \sqrt{8-4z+z^{2}}.
x=\frac{2\left(2-z\right)}{\sqrt{z^{2}-4z+8}}
Divide 4-2z by \sqrt{8-4z+z^{2}}.
