We'll impose the constraints of existence of the square root:

x - 4> =0

x>=4

Now, we'll solve the equation by raising to square both sides, to eliminate the square root:

(x - 4) = 1/(x - 4)^2

Now, we'll subtract 1/(x - 4)^2 both sides:

(x - 4) - 1/(x - 4)^2 = 0

We'll multiply by (x-4)^2 the equation:

(x - 4)^3 - 1>=0

We'll solve the difference of cubes using the formula:

a^3 - b^3 = (a-b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)

(x - 4)^3 - 1 = (x - 4  -1)[(x-4)^2 + x - 4 + 1]

We'll combine like terms inside brackets:

(x - 5)[(x-4)^2 + x - 4 + 1] = 0

We'll cancel each factor:

x - 5 = 0

We'll add 5 both sides:

x = 5

(x-4)^2 + x - 4 + 1 = 0

We'll expand the square:

x^2 - 8x + 16 + x - 3 = 0

We'll combine like terms:

x^2 - 7x + 13 = 0

We'll apply quadratic formula:

x1 = [7 + sqrt(49 - 52)]/2

x1 = (7 + i*sqrt3)/2

x2 = (7 - i*sqrt3)/2

The roots of the given equation are complex numbers. Since there is not any constraint concerning the nature of roots, we'll accept them.
