Answer (3)

− 149 = x 2 − 24 x x 2 − 24 x + 149 = 0 a = 1 b = − 24 c = 149 Δ = ( − 24 ) 2 − 149 ∗ 4 = 576 − 596 → − 20 ​ x 1 ​ ; x 2 ​ = 2 − ( − 24 ) + / − 1 20 ​ ​ = 2 24 + / − 2 i 5 ​ ​ x 1 ​ = 2 24 + 2 i 5 ​ ​ = 2 2 ( 12 + i 5 ​ ) ​ → 12 + i 5 ​ ​ ​ x 2 ​ = 2 24 − 2 i 5 ​ ​ = 2 2 ( 12 − i 5 ​ ​ → 12 − i 5 ​ ​ ​

The equation − 149 = x 2 − 24 x was rearranged to standard quadratic form which is x 2 − 24 x + 149 = 0 . The discriminant was calculated to be -20, indicating two complex solutions: x 1 ​ = 12 + i 5 ​ and x 2 ​ = 12 − i 5 ​ . Therefore, there are no real solutions for the equation.
