Answer

$\left\{ \dfrac{-3}{5},1 \right\}$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given equation, $ 2y=5y^2-3 ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} -5y^2+2y+3=0 \\\\ 5y^2-2y-3=0 .\end{array} Using $\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ (or the Quadratic Formula), the solutions of the given quadratic equation, $ 5y^2-2y-3=0 ,$ are \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{-(-2)\pm\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(5)(-3)}}{2(5)} \\\\= \dfrac{2\pm\sqrt{4+60}}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{2\pm\sqrt{64}}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{2\pm\sqrt{(8)^2}}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{2\pm8}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{2-8}{10} \text{ OR } \dfrac{2+8}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{-6}{10} \text{ OR } \dfrac{10}{10} \\\\= \dfrac{-3}{5} \text{ OR } 1 .\end{array} Hence, the solutions are $ \left\{ \dfrac{-3}{5},1 \right\} .$
