(-20x^2)/32x^2+160x/32x^2+240x/32x^2=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


(-20x^2)+160x+240x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(-20x^2)+400x=0

We get rid of parentheses

-20x^2+400x=0

a = -20; b = 400; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 4002-4·(-20)·0
Δ = 160000
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{160000}=400$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(400)-400}{2*-20}=\frac{-800}{-40}
=+20
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(400)+400}{2*-20}=\frac{0}{-40}
=0
