8x/16x^2+2x/16x^2-7=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


8x+2x-7*16x^2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

10x-7*16x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-112x^2+10x=0

a = -112; b = 10; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 102-4·(-112)·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*-112}=\frac{-20}{-224}
=5/56
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(10)+10}{2*-112}=\frac{0}{-224}
=0
