\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda ^{2}-4\lambda =4\left(x-\lambda ^{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \lambda ^{2} by x-4.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda ^{2}-4\lambda =4x-4\lambda ^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-\lambda ^{2}.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda ^{2}-4\lambda -4x=-4\lambda ^{2}
Subtract 4x from both sides.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda -4x=-4\lambda ^{2}+4\lambda ^{2}
Add 4\lambda ^{2} to both sides.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda -4x=0
Combine -4\lambda ^{2} and 4\lambda ^{2} to get 0.
\lambda ^{2}x-4x=4\lambda
Add 4\lambda to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(\lambda ^{2}-4\right)x=4\lambda
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(\lambda ^{2}-4\right)x}{\lambda ^{2}-4}=\frac{4\lambda }{\lambda ^{2}-4}
Divide both sides by \lambda ^{2}-4.
x=\frac{4\lambda }{\lambda ^{2}-4}
Dividing by \lambda ^{2}-4 undoes the multiplication by \lambda ^{2}-4.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda ^{2}-4\lambda =4\left(x-\lambda ^{2}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply \lambda ^{2} by x-4.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda ^{2}-4\lambda =4x-4\lambda ^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by x-\lambda ^{2}.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda ^{2}-4\lambda -4x=-4\lambda ^{2}
Subtract 4x from both sides.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda -4x=-4\lambda ^{2}+4\lambda ^{2}
Add 4\lambda ^{2} to both sides.
\lambda ^{2}x-4\lambda -4x=0
Combine -4\lambda ^{2} and 4\lambda ^{2} to get 0.
\lambda ^{2}x-4x=4\lambda
Add 4\lambda to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(\lambda ^{2}-4\right)x=4\lambda
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(\lambda ^{2}-4\right)x}{\lambda ^{2}-4}=\frac{4\lambda }{\lambda ^{2}-4}
Divide both sides by \lambda ^{2}-4.
x=\frac{4\lambda }{\lambda ^{2}-4}
Dividing by \lambda ^{2}-4 undoes the multiplication by \lambda ^{2}-4.
