(5-y)(4y-2)=0

Solution for (5-y)(4y-2)=0 equation:

(5-y)(4y-2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(-1y+5)(4y-2)=0

We multiply parentheses ..

(-4y^2+2y+20y-10)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-4y^2+2y+20y-10=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-4y^2+22y-10=0

a = -4; b = 22; c = -10;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 222-4·(-4)·(-10)
Δ = 324
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{324}=18$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(22)-18}{2*-4}=\frac{-40}{-8}
=+5
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(22)+18}{2*-4}=\frac{-4}{-8}
=1/2
