-0.3333333333 + x2 + x4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.3333333333' to each side of the equation.
-0.3333333333 + x2 + 0.3333333333 + x4 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Reorder the terms:
-0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333 + x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Combine like terms: -0.3333333333 + 0.3333333333 = 0.0000000000
0.0000000000 + x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.3333333333
x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.3333333333

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.3333333333 = 0.3333333333
x2 + x4 = 0.3333333333

The x term is x2.  Take half its coefficient (0.5).
Square it (0.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '0.25' to each side of the equation.
 + 0.25 + x4 = 0.3333333333 + 0.25

Combine like terms:  + 0.25 = 1.25
1.25 + x4 = 0.3333333333 + 0.25

Combine like terms: 0.3333333333 + 0.25 = 0.5833333333
1.25 + x4 = 0.5833333333

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x2 + 0.5)(x2 + 0.5) = 0.5833333333

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + x2 = 0.763762616 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x2 = 0.763762616 + -0.5
x2 = 0.763762616 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.763762616 + -0.5 = 0.263762616
x2 = 0.263762616

Simplifying
x2 = 0.263762616

Take the square root of each side:
x = {-0.513578247, 0.513578247}

Subproblem 2
x2 + 0.5 = -0.763762616

Simplifying
x2 + 0.5 = -0.763762616

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + x2 = -0.763762616

Solving
0.5 + x2 = -0.763762616

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + x2 = -0.763762616 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x2 = -0.763762616 + -0.5
x2 = -0.763762616 + -0.5
