1/2y-1/8y+1=0

We calculate fractions


8y/16y^2+(-2y)/16y^2+1=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


8y+(-2y)+1*16y^2=0

Wy multiply elements

16y^2+8y+(-2y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

16y^2+8y-2y=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

16y^2+6y=0

a = 16; b = 6; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·16·0
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-6}{2*16}=\frac{-12}{32}
=-3/8
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+6}{2*16}=\frac{0}{32}
=0
