$$\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{4}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}−\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\frac{−\mathrm{2}\pm\sqrt{−\mathrm{12}}}{\mathrm{2}}=−\mathrm{1}\pm{i}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
