Question

Solve for x, where x is a real number
12x^2 = 3x

could any1 please explain how to solve this step by step. I really want to be able to understand this. I already know x=0, 1/4

Answer 1

subtract \(3x\) from both sides, get
\[12x^2-3x=0\]
divide by \(3\) get
\[4x^2-x=0\]

Answer 2

factor
\[x(4x-1)=0\] then set each factor equal to zero and solve
