We get rid of parentheses

2/5x-7/10x+8+4=0

We calculate fractions


20x/50x^2+(-35x)/50x^2+8+4=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

20x/50x^2+(-35x)/50x^2+12=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


20x+(-35x)+12*50x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

600x^2+20x+(-35x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

600x^2+20x-35x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

600x^2-15x=0

a = 600; b = -15; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -152-4·600·0
Δ = 225
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{225}=15$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-15)-15}{2*600}=\frac{0}{1200}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-15)+15}{2*600}=\frac{30}{1200}
=1/40
