The first one and the second one are the correct sums
Rewrite the equation:
-2x^2 - 3x + 8 = 0
2x^2 + 3x -8 =0
Where a=2, b=3 and c=-8
Then b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4(2)(-8) = 9 + 64 = 73
A positive discriminant implies that the equation has two different real solutions.
Answer: the discriminant is 73, so the equation has 2 real solution
