16x/32x^2+(-20x)/32x^2+16-15=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

16x/32x^2+(-20x)/32x^2+1=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


16x+(-20x)+1*32x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

32x^2+16x+(-20x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

32x^2+16x-20x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

32x^2-4x=0

a = 32; b = -4; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -42-4·32·0
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)-4}{2*32}=\frac{0}{64}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-4)+4}{2*32}=\frac{8}{64}
=1/8
