Answer:

Δ = 60

Explanation:

Given a quadratic in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

Then the discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac

Given

3x² + 6x = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

3x² + 6x - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 3, b = 6 and c = - 2

b² - 4ac = 6² - (4 × 3 × - 2) = 36 - (- 24) = 36 + 24 = 60
