Normally it has two solutions but sometimes the solutions can be the same.

Draw the graph of the equation. the solution is/are the points where the line cuts the x(horisontal) axis .
No, it must have two answers.
An equation that is simplified to 0 0 is called a perfect equation. It usually have exactly one solution.
When you graph the quadratic equation, you have three possibilities... 1. The graph touches x-axis once. Then that quadratic equation only has one solution and you find it by finding the x-intercept. 2. The graph touches x-axis twice. Then that quadratic equation has two solutions and you also find it by finding the x-intercept 3. The graph doesn't touch the x-axis at all. Then that quadratic equation has no solutions. If you really want to find the solutions, you'll have to go to imaginary solutions, where the solutions include negative square roots.
b^2 - 4ac, the discriminant will tell you that a quadratic equation may have one real solution( discriminant = 0 ) , two real solutions( discriminant > 0 ), or no real solutions( discriminant < 0 ).
