Wy multiply elements

160y^2+8y+(-4y)=0

We get rid of parentheses

160y^2+8y-4y=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

160y^2+4y=0

a = 160; b = 4; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 42-4·160·0
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*160}=\frac{-8}{320}
=-1/40
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(4)+4}{2*160}=\frac{0}{320}
=0
