Solve Absolute
1. The problem is to find the value of $x$ if $2|2x-1|=\frac{1}{4}$.
2. First, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate the absolute value:
$$|2x-1|=\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$$
3. The definition of absolute value tells us that if $|A|=B$, then $A=B$ or $A=-B$. So,
$$2x-1=\frac{1}{8} \quad \text{or} \quad 2x-1=-\frac{1}{8}$$
4. Solve each equation for $x$:
\begin{align*}
2x-1 &= \frac{1}{8} \\
2x &= \frac{1}{8} + 1 = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{8}{8} = \frac{9}{8} \\
x &= \frac{9}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{16}
\end{align*}
\begin{align*}
2x-1 &= -\frac{1}{8} \\
2x &= -\frac{1}{8} + 1 = -\frac{1}{8} + \frac{8}{8} = \frac{7}{8} \\
x &= \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{16}
\end{align*}
5. The solutions are $x = \frac{9}{16}$ or $x = \frac{7}{16}$.
