\left(3x^{2}+1\right)\times 4=\left(2x+1\right)\left(6x-1\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(2x+1\right)\left(3x^{2}+1\right), the least common multiple of 2x+1,3x^{2}+1.
12x^{2}+4=\left(2x+1\right)\left(6x-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x^{2}+1 by 4.
12x^{2}+4=12x^{2}+4x-1
Use the distributive property to multiply 2x+1 by 6x-1 and combine like terms.
12x^{2}+4-12x^{2}=4x-1
Subtract 12x^{2} from both sides.
4=4x-1
Combine 12x^{2} and -12x^{2} to get 0.
4x-1=4
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
4x=4+1
Add 1 to both sides.
4x=5
Add 4 and 1 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
