Answer:

x=1/2

Explanation:

4x^2+1=4x

or,4x^2-4x+1=0

or,(2x)^2 - 2*2*x+(1)^2 =0

or,(2x-1)^2 =0

or,2x-1 =0

or,2x=1

Therefore, x=1/2

Answer: x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: Set it equal to zero by subtracting 4x from both sides:

4x² - 4x + 1 = 0

Now, factor it:

(2x - 1)(2x - 1)

Set each one equal to zero, but since they’re the same, you only need to do it once:

2x - 1 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

2x = 1

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 1/2

Hope this helps!
