Answer:

You did not post the options, but i will try to answer this in a general way.

Because we have two solutions, i know that we are talking about quadratic equations, of the form of:

0 = a*x^2 + b*x + c.

There are two easy ways to see if the solutions of this equation are real or not.

1) look at the graph, if the graph touches the x-axis, then we have real solutions (if the graph does not touch the x-axis, we have complex solutions).

2) look at the determinant.

The determinant of a quadratic equation is:

D = b^2 - 4*a*c.

if D > 0, we have two real solutions.

if D = 0, we have one real solution (or two real solutions that are equal)

if D < 0, we have two complex solutions.
