8x%5E2=4x Start with the given equation


8x%5E2-4x=0 Subtract 4x from both sides.


4x%282x-1%29=0 Factor the left side (note: if you need help with factoring, check out this solver)



Now set each factor equal to zero:
4x=0 or 2x-1=0

x=0 or x=1%2F2 Now solve for x in each case


So our answer is
x=0 or x=1%2F2
