Solve the radical equation [math]\sqrt{2-x}=x[/math] for [math]x[/math].
[list=1] [*]Isolate the radical expression. [*]Raise both sides of the equation to a power to eliminate the radical, then simplify the result. [*]Solve for [math]x[/math] by factoring, or by using the quadratic formula. [*]Verify the solution(s).
