Solution for 5y*y-8=12 equation:

5y*y-8=12

We move all terms to the left:

5y*y-8-(12)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

5y*y-20=0

Wy multiply elements

5y^2-20=0

a = 5; b = 0; c = -20;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·5·(-20)
Δ = 400
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{400}=20$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-20}{2*5}=\frac{-20}{10}
=-2
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+20}{2*5}=\frac{20}{10}
=2
