Answer:

  • yes, as written
  • no, as simplified

Explanation:

The equation can be simplified by subtracting 2x² from both sides. Doing that leaves a linear (not quadratic) equation:

y = 3x

__

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation such that the exponents of the variables in a term have a maximum total of 2. Here, the terms 2x² match that requirement, making this a quadratic equation.
