Solving by factoring,
4x^2-8x+3 = (2x-1)(2x-3) = 0
Answer: x = 1/2 or x = 3/2
Attn: 4*3 = (-2)(-6), and -2-6 = -8, the coefficient of x.

Hi Mark,
You'll want to use the quadratic formula to solve for x in this equation.
−b ± √ b2 − 4ac |
2a |
In this case you have the expression 4x2 - 8x + 3.
a = 4
b = -8
c = 3
Plug these values into the quadratic equation to solve for x.
