You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the question?
Are you trying to factor?
Then you aren't quite finished.
4x*(x-1)*(2x-1)
2x^2-3x+1)
factors of 2 that that add up to -3
-2 -1
split up -3x into -2x and -x
2x^2-2x-x+1
group
2x(x-1)-1*(x-1)
(2x-1)*(x-1)

4x(2x^2+-3x+1)
------------------
What you have is correct (you have a sign that's not needed +-3x).
= 4x(2x^2 - 3x + 1)
---------------
There's another step:
= 4x(2x-1)(x-1)
