Answer: Option b
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear equations have the following form:
Where the exponents n, m, s and h are always 0 or 1
To know which equations are nonlinear, identify among the options given, those that have exponents other than 1 or 0
Note that in option b) the exponent of the variable x is 
therefore the equation is nonlinear
Finally the answer is the option b
Discussion
The discriminate is b^2 - 4*a*c
The general equation for a quadratic is ax^2 + bx + c
In this equation's case
a = 1
b= -5
c = - 3
Solve
(-5)^2 - 4*(1)*(-3)
25 - (-12)
25 + 12
37
Note
Since the discriminate is > 0, the roots are real and different. The roots do exist and there are 2 of them.
The answer to the question is 23.
For your question i got (-5,-4)......i hope it helps
