    roots are not real

    Step-by-step explanation:

    given a quadratic in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

    then the discriminant Δ = b² - 4ac

    the value of the discriminant informs us about the nature of the roots

    • If b² - 4ac > 0, then 2 real and distinct roots

    • If b² - 4ac = 0, then 2 real and equal roots

    • If b² - 4ac < 0, then no real roots

    given 2m² + 3 = m (subtract m from both sides)

    2m² - m + 3 = 0 ← in standard form

    with a = 2, b = - 1 and c = 3

    b² - 4ac = ( - 1) ² - (4 * 2 * 3) = 1 - 24 = - 23

    Since b² - 4ac < 0 the equation has no real roots
