2016/106) solve for x (x^2+2)^2 + 8x^2 = 6x(x^2+2)

taking the term on RHS to LHS
 (x^2+2)(x^2 - 6x + 2) + 8(x^2)  = 0
(x^2-3x+2 + 3x )(x^2 - 3x + 2 - 3x) + 8x^2 = 0
or (x^2-3x+2)^2  - 9x^2 + 8x^2 = 0
or (x^2+ 3x +2)^2 - x^2 = 0
or (x^2+2x+ 2)(x^2+4x+2) = 0
x^2+2x+2=0 gives x= -1\pm i and x^2+4x+2=0 give 2\pm \sqrt{2}
