4+x^{2}=x^{2}+4x+4
Use binomial theorem \left(a+b\right)^{2}=a^{2}+2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x+2\right)^{2}.
4+x^{2}-x^{2}=4x+4
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
4=4x+4
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
4x+4=4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=4-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
4x=0
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 4 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
