-2x^2 + 5x -3 =0

Find the discriminate:

In the given formula a = -2, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminate is found using the formula b^2 - 4(ac)

Replace the letters with their values:

5^2 - 4(-2*-3)

25 - 4*6

25-24 = 1

When the discriminate is greater than or equal to 0, there are two real solutions.

The answer is c) 2

Answer:

$28+56t+28w=14(2+4t+2w)\\\\28+56t+28w=28(1+2t+w)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$28+56t+28w=14\times 2+14\times 4t+14\times 2w\\\\14\ is\ common\ in\ every\ term\\\\28+56t+28w=14(2+4t+2w).........................................(1)\\\\Now\ take\ 2+4t+2w\\\\2+4t+2w=2+2\times 2t+2w\\\\2\ is\ common\\\\2+4t+2w=2(1+2t+1)\\\\Now\ substitute\ this\ in\ equation\ 1\\\\28+56t+28w=14\times 2(1+2t+w)\\\\28+56t+28w==28(1+2t+w)$
