We want to solve
\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{2x+1}

Subtract 2/(2x+1) from each side.
\frac{x}{2x+1} - \frac{2}{2x+1y} - \frac{1}{4} = 0

Add 1/4 to each side, and simplify the left side.
\frac{x-2}{2x+1} = \frac{1}{4}

Cross multiply.
4(x - 2) = 1(2x + 1)
4x - 8 = 2x + 1

Simplify and solve for x.
4x - 2x = 1 + 8
2x = 9
x = 9/2   or x = 4 1/2.

Answer:  x =  \frac{9}{2} \,\, or \,\, x = 4 \frac{1}{2}
