(-8x)/32x^2+(-20x)/32x^2-2+5=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(-8x)/32x^2+(-20x)/32x^2+3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


(-8x)+(-20x)+3*32x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

96x^2+(-8x)+(-20x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

96x^2-8x-20x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

96x^2-28x=0

a = 96; b = -28; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -282-4·96·0
Δ = 784
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{784}=28$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-28)-28}{2*96}=\frac{0}{192}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-28)+28}{2*96}=\frac{56}{192}
=7/24
