We calculate fractions


128x^2/256x^2+128x/256x^2+(-96x)/256x^2=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


128x^2+128x+(-96x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

128x^2+128x-96x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

128x^2+32x=0

a = 128; b = 32; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 322-4·128·0
Δ = 1024
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1024}=32$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(32)-32}{2*128}=\frac{-64}{256}
=-1/4
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(32)+32}{2*128}=\frac{0}{256}
=0
