We get rid of parentheses

-Y-1/Y+3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


-Y*Y+3*Y-1=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

3Y-Y*Y-1=0

Wy multiply elements

-1Y^2+3Y-1=0

a = -1; b = 3; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 32-4·(-1)·(-1)
Δ = 5
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

$Y_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)-\sqrt{5}}{2*-1}=\frac{-3-\sqrt{5}}{-2}
$
$Y_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(3)+\sqrt{5}}{2*-1}=\frac{-3+\sqrt{5}}{-2}
