Solution for -(y+2)=1/2y+4 equation:

-(y+2)=1/2y+4

We move all terms to the left:

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


Domain of the equation: 2y+4)!=0

y∈R


We get rid of parentheses

-y-1/2y-2-4=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-y*2y-2*2y-4*2y-1=0

Wy multiply elements

-2y^2-4y-8y-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-2y^2-12y-1=0

a = -2; b = -12; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -122-4·(-2)·(-1)
Δ = 136
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{136}=\sqrt{4*34}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{34}=2\sqrt{34}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)-2\sqrt{34}}{2*-2}=\frac{12-2\sqrt{34}}{-4}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-12)+2\sqrt{34}}{2*-2}=\frac{12+2\sqrt{34}}{-4}
