I would take advantage of the fact that the term without $x$ $x$ is missing and collect $x$ $x$ :
$x (2 x - 1) = 0$ $x(2x-1)=0$
This equation is satisfied only if:
$x = 0$ $x=0$
or
$2 x - 1 = 0$ $2x-1=0$ and $x = \frac{1}{2}$ $x=1/2$

Alternately you can use the Quadratic Formula but the previous approach seems more interesting!
