We add all the numbers together, and all the variables
y^2-20y-20=0
a = 1; b = -20; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -202-4·1·(-20)
Δ = 480
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:
$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{480}=\sqrt{16*30}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{30}=4\sqrt{30}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)-4\sqrt{30}}{2*1}=\frac{20-4\sqrt{30}}{2} $
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-20)+4\sqrt{30}}{2*1}=\frac{20+4\sqrt{30}}{2} $
