Wy multiply elements

48y^2+8y+(-3y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

48y^2+8y-3y=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

48y^2+5y=0

a = 48; b = 5; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 52-4·48·0
Δ = 25
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)-5}{2*48}=\frac{-10}{96}
=-5/48
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(5)+5}{2*48}=\frac{0}{96}
=0
