    Recall the formula to find the solutions for an equation ax² + bx + c:

    x₁₂ = ( - b + / - √ (b²-4ac)) / 2a

    Since at the denominator of our solution we have 3, which is an odd number, therefore it cannot be 2a, but only a, we should use the formula:

    x₁₂ = (-β + / - √ (β²-ac)) / a

    Where β = b/2

    Hence, the only options that have an even number as b coefficient are C and D.

    Now, we need to find what values give √ (β² - ac) = 2√7 = √ (4·7) = √28:

    C) √ (β² - ac) = √ (25 - 3·6) = √7

    D) √ (β² - ac) = √ (25 - 3· (-1)) = √28

    Hence, the correct answer is D) 3x² - 10x - 1 = 0
