given expression
2x^2 +3 =2x
subtract 2x on both sides
2x^2 +3-2x =2x-2x
2x^2-2x+3 =0

Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 2x%5E2%2B-2x%2B3+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-2%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A3=-20.

The discriminant -20 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -20 is + or - sqrt%28+20%29+=+4.47213595499958.

The solution is
