You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is -x the exponent of x?
---------------
That can be solved using numerical methods such as successive approximation.
A power series or other series might do it, too, but I suspect this is not the problem you were given.

This cannot be solved explicitly using elementary operations

---------------------------------
You can graph y = x^x, and see where y =2.
If you know calculus you can use Newtons method to approximate the root of f(x) = x^x - 2
Approximate solution is x = 1.5596
