4y/8y^2+(-2y)/8y^2-5+2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

4y/8y^2+(-2y)/8y^2-3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


4y+(-2y)-3*8y^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-24y^2+4y+(-2y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-24y^2+4y-2y=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-24y^2+2y=0

a = -24; b = 2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-24)·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2}{2*-24}=\frac{-4}{-48}
=1/12
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2}{2*-24}=\frac{0}{-48}
=0
