The image contains handwritten mathematical notation on lined paper. The text seems to be solving a quadratic equation for the variable \( y \). The equation is written as follows:

\[ x^2 - 4xy + 4y^2 = 0 \]

Below the equation, there is a note which reads:

\[ \text{obtain } y. \]

This implies that the objective is to solve the given quadratic equation for the variable \( y \).

### Explanation

To solve the equation \( x^2 - 4xy + 4y^2 = 0 \) for \( y \), we can follow these steps:

1. **Recognize the equation:** Notice that the given equation is in the form of a quadratic equation.
2. **Factor the equation:** We can rewrite the equation as:
   \[ (x - 2y)^2 = 0 \]
3. **Solve for \( y \):**
   \[ x - 2y = 0 \]
   \[ x = 2y \]
   \[ y = \frac{x}{2} \]

Hence, the solution for \( y \) in terms of \( x \) is \( \boxed{y = \frac{x}{2}} \).

This equation shows that \( y \) is half the value of \( x \).
