3x/18x^2+(-6x)/18x^2-8-2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3x/18x^2+(-6x)/18x^2-10=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


3x+(-6x)-10*18x^2=0

Wy multiply elements

-180x^2+3x+(-6x)=0

We get rid of parentheses

-180x^2+3x-6x=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-180x^2-3x=0

a = -180; b = -3; c = 0;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -32-4·(-180)·0
Δ = 9
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{9}=3$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)-3}{2*-180}=\frac{0}{-360}
=0
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)+3}{2*-180}=\frac{6}{-360}
=-1/60
