\left(2x-1\right)\times 2x\times 2=2\left(2x+1\right)\times 2x
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x-1\right)\left(2x+1\right), the least common multiple of 2x+1,2x-1.
\left(2x-1\right)\times 4x=2\left(2x+1\right)\times 2x
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
\left(8x-4\right)x=2\left(2x+1\right)\times 2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x-1 by 4.
8x^{2}-4x=2\left(2x+1\right)\times 2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 8x-4 by x.
8x^{2}-4x=4\left(2x+1\right)x
Multiply 2 and 2 to get 4.
8x^{2}-4x=\left(8x+4\right)x
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2x+1.
8x^{2}-4x=8x^{2}+4x
Use the distributive property to multiply 8x+4 by x.
8x^{2}-4x-8x^{2}=4x
Subtract 8x^{2} from both sides.
-4x=4x
Combine 8x^{2} and -8x^{2} to get 0.
-4x-4x=0
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-8x=0
Combine -4x and -4x to get -8x.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -8 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
