Show Answer

Solution:

Key Idea Reduce the given equation into quadratic equation.

Given equation is

|x2|+x(x4)+2=0

|x2|+x4x+4=2

|x2|+(x2)2=2

(|x2|)2+|x2|2=0

Let |x2|=y, then above equation reduced to

y2+y2=0y2+2yy2=0

y(y+2)1(y+2)=0(y+2)(y1)=0

y=1,2

y=1[y=|x2|0]

|x2|=1

x2=±1

x=3 or 1

x=9 or 1

Sum of roots =9+1=10
