To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following quadratic equation, which is given in the problem above:

2y^2+6y-8=0

2. So, to solve it, you can use the quadratic formula, which is:

y=(-b±√(b²-4ac))/2a

a=2
b=6
c=-8

3. When you susbtitute these values into the formula, you obtain:

y1=-4
y2=1
