Solution

The image you uploaded shows a multiple-choice question asking to solve for xx in the equation 4x=24x = 2.

Let's solve it:

Given: 4x=24x = 2

To solve for xx, divide both sides of the equation by 4:

x=24=12x = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

So, x=12x = \frac{1}{2}.

The correct answer is 12\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}.
