Question

How do you solve the equation: `-32y^2-24y=0`?

Answer 1

The solutions are:
`color(blue)(y=0, y=-3/4`

Explanation:

`-32y^2-24y = 0`

`-8y` is common to both terms:

`=-8y(4y + 3) = 0`

Equating the terms with zero to obtain the solution:

• `-8y = 0`
  `color(blue)(y=0`

• `4y + 3 = 0`
  `color(blue)(y = -3/4`
