$$\mathrm{e}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Proof}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{Let}\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{e}+\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}=\mathrm{e}+\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}\left(\mathrm{e}−\mathrm{2}\right)=\left(\mathrm{e}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left(\mathrm{e}−\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{2e}{x}−\mathrm{4}{x}=\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{4}=−\mathrm{2e}{x}+\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{4}={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2e}{x}+\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\left({x}−\mathrm{e}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\sqrt{\left({x}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }=\sqrt{\left({x}−\mathrm{e}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${x}−\mathrm{2}={x}−\mathrm{e} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{2}=−\mathrm{e} \\ $$$$\mathrm{e}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$
