\(a,\Rightarrow4x^2-1-4x^2+2x=5\\ \Rightarrow2x=6\Rightarrow x=3\\ b,\Rightarrow x^2\left(x+1\right)-4\left(x+1\right)=0\\ \Rightarrow\left(x+1\right)\left(x^2-4\right)=0\\ \Rightarrow\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)\left(x-2\right)=0\\ \Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=-1\\x=-2\\x=2\end{matrix}\right.\)
