Answer:

  x = 1/2 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can factor this as ...

  2x^2 -4x -x +2 = 0 . . . rewrite the middle term to enable factoring

  2x(x -2) -1(x -2) = 0 . . . . factor by grouping

  (2x -1)(x -2) = 0 . . . . factor out (x -2)

  x = 1/2, 2 . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero
