Anyone know how to solve this step by step?

-1/2 or x=2

Step-by-step explanation: The first step you need to do in getting your answer is factoring ,you will factor the left side of the equation first:

(2x+1)(x-2)=0

Next, you will set the factors to equal to "0":

2x+1=0  x-2=0

Then you'll proceed to solve the problem using the basic algebraic equation problem solving steps .When you do this you'll be left with answers of x=-1/2  and x=2
