Discriminant = (-10)2 - 4*5*(-2) = 100 + 40 > 0

So the quadratic has two real roots ie it crosses the x-axis twice.

Is there a solution to the equation 3x squared -6x equals -2 if so what is it?

Yes because when it is rearranged in the form of 3x2-6x+2 = 0 the discriminant b2-4ac of this quadratic equation is greater than zero which means that it will have two solutions. Using the quadratic equation formula will give these solutions for x as 0.422 or 1.577 both correct to three decimal places.
