As you know, 4.78 is less than 5, so
.. yes, x=4.78 is a solution to x < 5
As you know, 6 = 6, but is not less than 6.
.. no, x=6 is not a solution to x < 6.
<span>2x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0
a = 2 b = 3 and c = 5
x = [-b +-sq root(b^2 -4ac)] / 2a
</span><span>x = [-3 +-sq root(9 -4*2*5)] / 4
x = [-3 +-sq root(9 - 40)] / 4
</span><span>x = -(3 / 4) + sq root (-36) / 4
</span><span>x = -(3 / 4) - sq root (-36) / 4

It might be d because the side are all the exact same size!
