x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

it can also equal 3 but try both

Answer:

x = 1 and x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rearranging and combining like terms.

4x-2-1x^2=1

-x^2 +4x -2 = 1     [put x^2 first.  Makes it easier to understand]

-x^2 +4x -3 = 0   [Combine like terms]

x^2 -4x + 3 = 0   [Multiply both sides by -1.]

(x - 1)*(x - 3) = 0   [Factor.  Note that the - 1 and - 3 will = +3 when multiplies, and - 4 when summed]

Set each factor = 0

(x-1) = 0

(x-3) = 0

Solve to find the two possible answers.    

x = 1 and x = 3
