Question 343595
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Replace the parentheses with *[tex \Large x].


Add *[tex \Large -x] to both sides.


Add *[tex \Large 4] to both sides.


Multiply both sides by -1.


You will see that *[tex \Large x] is equal to some value.  That is the value that goes into the parentheses.

*[tex \LARGE e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0]
My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
