x^{2}=16-8x+x^{2}+\left(\sqrt{3}\right)^{2}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(4-x\right)^{2}.
x^{2}=16-8x+x^{2}+3
The square of \sqrt{3} is 3.
x^{2}=19-8x+x^{2}
Add 16 and 3 to get 19.
x^{2}+8x=19+x^{2}
Add 8x to both sides.
x^{2}+8x-x^{2}=19
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
8x=19
Combine x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 0.
x=\frac{19}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
