square it, solve the 4^(th)  degree polynomial  and check the solutions, 1 of the 3 is false  exact solutions possible but hard to handle,  approximation gives  x_1 ≈−10.2894606  x_2 ≈.914622644  x_3 ≈2.16142299

but the question you posted is  x^2 +4x=(√(40x^2 +3x−16))  and you can′t solve it this way.

you changed the question now but you  changed it to a different from the one you  solved... you have to be more careful

the point is here, you posted a question  that I solved, then you solved a different  question, then you changed the question  to a third version.
