3x+2(3x-3)=2
9x-6=2
9x=8
X=8/9
217x+99=25
217x=25-99
217x= -74
X=-74/217
The formula for the discriminant is b^2-4ac. The formula you wote is in the form of
ax^2+c=0, so first, you need to bring that -2 to the left. When you do that, you get (the original equation would be ax^2+bx+c but you have no bx.)
3x^2-8
So, since there's no b, it would be
b^2-4ac
0^2-4(3)(-8
-12 x -8
96
Each trianglar side has an area: (1/2)*8*9=36
the base is a square with an area of 8*8=64
so the total surface area is 36+36+36+36+64=208
Without knowing the shape selection you have i cant really say anything. But with a square you wouldnt have any whole numbers, nor would a triangle give you whole number, than again no shape that i can think of would give whole numbers.
