8y^2-40y=3

Solution for 8y^2-40y=3 equation:

8y^2-40y=3

We move all terms to the left:

8y^2-40y-(3)=0

a = 8; b = -40; c = -3;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = -402-4·8·(-3)
Δ = 1696
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{1696}=\sqrt{16*106}=\sqrt{16}*\sqrt{106}=4\sqrt{106}$
$y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-40)-4\sqrt{106}}{2*8}=\frac{40-4\sqrt{106}}{16}
$
$y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(-40)+4\sqrt{106}}{2*8}=\frac{40+4\sqrt{106}}{16}
