To determine the number of real-number solutions for the equation 0 = 2x^2 - 20x + 50, we can use the discriminant formula from quadratic equations. The discriminant (denoted as Δ) is given by the expression b^2 - 4ac, where a, b, and c are coefficients of the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

In this case, the equation is 2x^2 - 20x + 50 = 0, so:
- a = 2
- b = -20
- c = 50

Now, let's substitute the values into the discriminant formula:
Δ = (-20)^2 - 4 * 2 * 50
= 400 - 400
= 0

The discriminant Δ is equal to 0. When the discriminant is equal to zero, it means that the quadratic equation has exactly one real solution. Therefore, the answer is:

B. One solution
