10x/16x^2+(-8x)/16x^2-2-12=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

10x/16x^2+(-8x)/16x^2-14=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


10x+(-8x)-14*16x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-224x^2+10x+(-8x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-224x^2+10x-8x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-224x^2+2x=0

a = -224; b = 2; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 22-4·(-224)·0
Δ = 4
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{4}=2$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)-2}{2*-224}=\frac{-4}{-448}
=1/112
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(2)+2}{2*-224}=\frac{0}{-448}
=0
