2x/6x^2+(-3x)/6x^2-10=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


2x+(-3x)-10*6x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-60x^2+2x+(-3x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-60x^2+2x-3x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-60x^2-1x=0

a = -60; b = -1; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -12-4·(-60)·0
Δ = 1
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1}=1$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)-1}{2*-60}=\frac{0}{-120}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-1)+1}{2*-60}=\frac{2}{-120}
=-1/60
