5y/10y^2+(-2y)/10y^2-1-2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5y/10y^2+(-2y)/10y^2-3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


5y+(-2y)-3*10y^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-30y^2+5y+(-2y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-30y^2+5y-2y=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-30y^2+3y=0

a = -30; b = 3; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·(-30)·0
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-3}{2*-30}=\frac{-6}{-60}
=1/10
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+3}{2*-30}=\frac{0}{-60}
=0
