Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply 2 and get 2x^2+18-4=0
combine like terms
2x^2+14=0
subtract 14
2x^2=-14
there can't be a square root of a negative number so there's no solution
x = ±i sqrt(7)
2(x^2+9)-4=0
Add 4 to each side
2(x^2+9)-4+4=0+4
2(x^2+9)=4
Divide by 2
2(x^2+9)/2=4/2
(x^2+9)=2
Subtract 9 from each side
x^2 +9-9 = 2-9
x^2 = -7
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) =sqrt(-7)
x = sqrt(-1 *7)
