Can you solve it idk :(

anonymous · Answer

Given the last term of the equation is 4, which also is not attached to variable x, take its factors: +/- 1, +/-2, +/-4.
By trial, you have to replace x with one of the factors to get 0.
Using -2, the expression equals 0.
You can carry on from here...
