To determine the number of complex roots (solutions or zeros) for the equation 2x - 5 = 0, we can follow the steps below:

First, we can add 5 to both sides of the equation to obtain:


\longrightarrow{\sf{\color{red}{2x = 5}}}\\

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:


\longrightarrow\sf\:x\: = (5)/(2)\\

Therefore, the equation 2x - 5 = 0 has only one root, which is a real number
\sf((5)/(2)).\\There are no complex roots for this equation.
