x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+2+=+2x
x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+2+-+2x+=+0
x%5E2+-+4x+%2B+2+=+0
+x+=+%28-%28-4%29+%2B-+sqrt%28%28-4%29%5E2+-+4+%2A+1+%2A+2%29%29%2F%282%2A1%29
+x+=+%284+%2B-+sqrt%2816+-+8%29%29%2F2
+x+=+%284+%2B-+sqrt%288%29%29%2F2
+x+=+%284+%2B-+2.83%29%2F2
+x+=+%282%2A%282+%2B-+0.83%29%29%2F2
+x+=+%282+%2B-+0.83%29
Either, x = 2 + 0.83 = 2.83
or, x = 2 - 0.83 = 1.17
