Answer:

No real

solution

Explanation:

Firstly, let us check if we would be having a real solution

We start by rewriting the equation

We have this as;

8x^2 -25x + 24 = 0

We proceed to get the discriminant

Mathematically, we have this as;

D = b^2 - 4ac

b is the coefficient of x which is -25

a is the coefficient of x^2 which is 8

c is the last number which is 24

So we have;

D = (-25)^2 - 4(8)(24)

D = 625 - 768 = -143

Since the value of the discriminant is negative, there cannot be real roots

What we have as solution are complex roots
