10x/40x^2+(-4x)/40x^2-1-8=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

10x/40x^2+(-4x)/40x^2-9=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


10x+(-4x)-9*40x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-360x^2+10x+(-4x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-360x^2+10x-4x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-360x^2+6x=0

a = -360; b = 6; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 62-4·(-360)·0
Δ = 36
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{36}=6$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)-6}{2*-360}=\frac{-12}{-720}
=1/60
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(6)+6}{2*-360}=\frac{0}{-720}
=0
