$$-x^2 = 2x - 4~~~~~|+x^2$$
$$ 0=x^2+2x-4 $$
$$~~~~~~~~~~~~0=x^2+px+q$$
$$~~~~~~~~~~~~p=2~~;~~q=-4$$
$$~~~~~~~~~~~~x_{12}=-\dfrac{p}{2}\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{p^2}{4}-q}$$
$$~~~~~~~~~~~~-\dfrac{p}{2}=-1~~;~~\dfrac{p^2}{4}=\dfrac{2^2}{4}=1~~;~~-q=-(-4)=+4$$
$$ x_{12}=-1\pm\sqrt{1+4} $$
$$ x_1=-1-\sqrt{5}\approx −3.2360679775$$
$$ x_2=-1+\sqrt{5}\approx 1.2360679775$$
