$$\mathrm{simply} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{3}} −{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}\left({y}^{\mathrm{2}} −{y}−\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{1}} =\mathrm{0}\:\mathrm{but}\:{y}\neq\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{valid} \\ $$$${y}_{\mathrm{2},\:\mathrm{3}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{but}\:{y}>\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\:{y}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
