PLEASE HELP!!!! Explain why a quadratic equation with a positive discriminant has two real solutions, a quadratic equation with

a negative discriminant has no real solution, and a quadratic equation with a discriminant of zero has one real solution.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

In the quadratic formula, the discriminant is square rooted. In this formula you have a ± before this radical. If the discriminant is positive, the solution can be either subtracting or adding the number, so there are 2 real solutions.

If it is 0, subtracting or adding are the same, so there will be just one solution.

You cannot have a negative square root. It is impossible with real numbers, so there are no real solutions.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

Enter as a integer or decimal
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

x = - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4(x + 6) - 2x = 12 ← distribute and simplify left side

4x + 24 - 2x = 12

2x + 24 = 12 ( subtract 24 from both sides )

2x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 6
