    Use u subsitution the solve by grouping

    u=x^2

    u^3-16u=4u^2-64

    u^3-4u^2-16u+64=0

    (u^3-4u^2) + (-16u+64) = 0

    u^2 (u-4) + (-16) (u-4) = 0

    (u^2-16) (u-4) = 0

    (u-4) (u+4) (u-4) = 0

    (u+4) (u-4) ^2=0

    u=x^2

    (x^2+4) (x^2-4) ^2=0

    (x^2+4) ((x-2) (x+2)) ^2=0

    (x^2+4) (x-2) ² (x+2) ²=0

    set to zero

    x^2+4=0

    x^2=-4

    x=+/-2i

    x-2=0

    x=2

    x+2=0

    x=-2

    the other roots are - 2 and 2
