what is the discriminant and how many solutions?

Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\text{Discriminant} =\Delta = b^2-4ac\\
\implies \Delta = 7^2-4(1)(10)=49-40=9\\
\therefore \Delta >0\\[/tex]
Since the discriminant is greater than zero, there are two real solutions.
Also, the solutions are $x=5$ and $x=2$
