then k-4=2 or k-4=-2
and we have that k=6 and k=2, are the two answers for the equation.
if we replace k=2 in the first equation

which makes the equation true for k=2, then is we replace k=6 in the first equation:

then the equation holds for k=6 too.
the second equation is:
![2=\sqrt[]{-4-x}](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ets1wb6bq9opypswh2dxsw6y7afxgwe65m.png)
then


finally

if we replace x=-8 in the second equation
![\sqrt[]{-4-(-8)}=\sqrt[]{-4+8}=\sqrt[]{4}=2](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/b49cnwhm0zjjckwglxl30xi71l01l4c1t2.png)
then the equation holds for x=-8.
