We calculate fractions


15x/20x^2+(-4x)/20x^2-21=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


15x+(-4x)-21*20x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-420x^2+15x+(-4x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-420x^2+15x-4x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-420x^2+11x=0

a = -420; b = 11; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 112-4·(-420)·0
Δ = 121
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{121}=11$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(11)-11}{2*-420}=\frac{-22}{-840}
=11/420
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(11)+11}{2*-420}=\frac{0}{-840}
=0
