620y2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
620y2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
620y2=1
Divide both sides
620620y2=6201
Divide the numbers
y2=6201
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
y=±6201
