Answer

$\text{Discriminant: } 0 \\\text{Number of real solutions: } 1$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, the given equation, $ 3x^2+3=6x ,$ is equivalent to \begin{align*} 3x^2-6x+3=0 .\end{align*} Using $ax^2+bx+c=0,$ the equation above has $a= 3 ,$ $b= -6 ,$ and $c= 3 .$ Using $b^2-4ac$ or the Discriminant, then \begin{align*}b^2-4ac&= (-6)^2-4(3)(3) \\&= 36-36 \\&= 0 .\end{align*} Since the discriminant above is equal to $0,$ then there is $1$ real solutions. Hence, \begin{align*} \text{Discriminant: } 0 \\\text{Number of real solutions: } 1 .\end{align*}
