We multiply all the terms by the denominator


7y+(-3y)-8*21y^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-168y^2+7y+(-3y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-168y^2+7y-3y=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-168y^2+4y=0

a = -168; b = 4; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·(-168)·0
Δ = 16
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{16}=4$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)-4}{2*-168}=\frac{-8}{-336}
=1/42
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+4}{2*-168}=\frac{0}{-336}
=0
