There is at least one real number solution and at most seven real number solutions. There are seven minus the number of real solutions that are complex solutions, and the number of complex solutions is an even number. Hence the possibilities include:

1 real, 6 complex

3 real, 4 complex

5 real, 2 complex

7 real, 0 complex.
