Answer 1

A.) 2 solutions -- one is an integer, the other is not.

Explanation:

The equation looks like this when input into the quadratic formula...

`x = (5√(5^2-4(3)(-2)) )/(6)`

Once you solve this particular equation -- through a variety of steps, the two roots are 2 and -1/3.

2 is an integer and 1/3 is not.
