X^2 - 4 x = -2
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 2
Write the left-hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 2
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x - 2 = -sqrt(2)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer:  x = 2 + sqrt(2) or x = 2 - sqrt(2)

I'll do a similar problem, and I challenge you to do this using similar techniques!

If John works for 15$ a hour with his friends rather than working for 20$ an hour for 50 hours a month, what's the monthly opportunity cost?

John would make 20*50=1000 dollars a month at the second option as he makes 20$ an hour 50 times. Next, if he works with his friends, he makes 15*50=750 dollars as he works 50 hours for 15 dollars an hour, or adds 15 50 times.

His opportunity cost would be <highest money>-<lowest money>=1000-750=250 dollars a month. Good luck on this question, and feel free to ask further questions!
