Which statement about the following equation is true? 2 x squared minus 9 x plus 2 is equal to negative 1

First rewrite the equation in standard form by adding 1 to both sides: 2x² − 9x + 3 = 0. Its discriminant is b² − 4ac = (−9)² − 4(2)(3) = 81 − 24 = 57, which is greater than 0. Therefore, the equation has two real roots, so choice C is correct.
