We multiply all the terms by the denominator


2x+(-12x)+10*24x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

240x^2+2x+(-12x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

240x^2+2x-12x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

240x^2-10x=0

a = 240; b = -10; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -102-4·240·0
Δ = 100
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{100}=10$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)-10}{2*240}=\frac{0}{480}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-10)+10}{2*240}=\frac{20}{480}
=1/24
