Answer:

x = 1 or x = 3/2

Explanation:

Solve for x:

(4 x^2 - 10 x + 6)/(4 x + 2) = 0

Multiply both sides by 4 x + 2:

4 x^2 - 10 x + 6 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

2 (x - 1) (2 x - 3) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

(x - 1) (2 x - 3) = 0

Split into two equations:

x - 1 = 0 or 2 x - 3 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 or 2 x - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides:

x = 1 or 2 x = 3

Divide both sides by 2:

Answer: x = 1 or x = 3/2
