5y^2(2y+5+6y^2)=0 5y^2=0 implies y=0
so find the solutions to 6y^2+2y+5=0 and you are done

a=6
b=2
c=5
so we have
\[y=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{2^2-4(6)(5)}}{2(6)}=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{4-120}}{12}=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-116}}{12}\]
\[=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-1*4*29}}{12}=\frac{-2 \pm \sqrt{-1}\sqrt{4}\sqrt{29}}{12}=\frac{-2 \pm i*2*\sqrt{29}}{12}\]
\[=\frac{-2}{12} \pm i \frac{2\sqrt{29}}{12}=\frac{-1}{6} \pm i \frac{\sqrt{29}}{6}\]
