==>
<==>
<==> (x- 4-3)(x - 4 +3)(x -4 - 3i)(x - 4 + 3i) = 0
<==> (x -7)(x -1)(x -4 - 3i)(x - 4 + 3i) = 0
Then the solutions to the original equation are (including imaginary roots) are
7,1, 4 + 3i, 4 - 3i.

81 has four roots of unity: 3, 3i, -3, -3i.

We have the equations

x-4 = 3
x-4 = 3i
x-4 = -3
x-4 = -3i

all of which can easily be solved for x.
