y^-2 + y^-1 = 20
------------------------
Yours is a quadratic equation with variable y^-1
------
(y^-1)^2 + y^-1 -20 = 0
-----
Quadratic Equation:
y^-1 = [-1 +- sqrt(1-4*-20)]/2
----
y^-1 = [-1 +- 9]/2
---
y^-1 = -5 or y^-1 = 4
----
y = -1/5 or y = 1/4

Multiply thru by y^2
((((5y + 1)*(4y - 1) = 0}}}
y = -1/5
y = 1/4
