The root of polynomial $ p(x) $ is:
$$ \begin{aligned}x &= -1 \end{aligned} $$Step 1:
Combine like terms:
$$ \color{blue}{2x} + \color{blue}{2x} +4 = \color{blue}{4x} +4 $$Step 2:
$$ \begin{aligned} 4x+4 & = 0 \\[1 em] 4 \cdot x & = -4 \\[1 em] x & = - \frac{ 4 }{ 4 } \\[1 em] x & = - \frac{ 4 : 4 }{ 4 : 4} \\[1 em] x & = -1 \end{aligned} $$
