    Discriminant Formula: b² - 4ac, with a = x^2 coefficient, b = x coefficient, and c = constant

    So firstly, using our equation plug in the values into the discriminant formula and solve as such:

    (-7) ² - 4 * 3 * 4

    49 - 48

    1

    So our discriminant is 1. Since 1 is positive and a perfect square, this means that there are 2 real, rational solutions.
