$$0 = 96237 \cdot \frac{x^4}{4000}+2219\frac{x^2}{200}+72\frac{x}{5}-\frac{551}{100}$$
Answer
$$ \begin{matrix}x_1 = 0.29985 & x_2 = -0.80141 & x_3 = 0.25078+0.94347i \\[1 em] x_4 = 0.25078-0.94347i & \\[1 em] \end{matrix} $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 0 &= 96237 \cdot \frac{x^4}{4000}+2219\frac{x^2}{200}+72\frac{x}{5}-\frac{551}{100}&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 4000 }. \\[1 em]4000\cdot0 &= 4000\cdot96237 \cdot \frac{x^4}{4000}+4000\cdot2219\frac{x^2}{200}+4000\cdot72\frac{x}{5}-4000\cdot\frac{551}{100}&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]0 &= 96237x^4+44380x^2+57600x-22040&& \text{move all terms to the left hand side } \\[1 em]0-96237x^4-44380x^2-57600x+22040 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-96237x^4-44380x^2-57600x+22040 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
