Answer

The solution is, $\underline{x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{33}}{4}}$.

Work Step by Step

Consider the given equation, $\begin{align} & 2{{x}^{2}}=4-x \\ & 2{{x}^{2}}+x-4=0 \\ & x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{{{1}^{2}}-4\left( -4 \right)\left( 2 \right)}}{2\times 2} \\ & =\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{33}}{4} \end{align}$ The solutions of the equations are $x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{33}}{4}$.
