20x/10x^2+(-40x)/10x^2+8-9=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

20x/10x^2+(-40x)/10x^2-1=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


20x+(-40x)-1*10x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-10x^2+20x+(-40x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-10x^2+20x-40x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-10x^2-20x=0

a = -10; b = -20; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·(-10)·0
Δ = 400
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{400}=20$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-20}{2*-10}=\frac{0}{-20}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+20}{2*-10}=\frac{40}{-20}
=-2
