 Hi

Solving using the quadratic formula

 6x^2+5x=6  

 6x^2+5x - 6= 0   |Using format: ax^2 + bx + c = 0

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+

x+=+%28-5+%2B-+sqrt%28+25%2B144+%29%29%2F%2812%29+

x+=+%28-5+%2B-+sqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F%2812%29+

x+=+%28-5+%2B-+13%29%2F%2812%29+

   x = 8/12 = 2/3   and  x = -18/12 = -9/6 or -1 1/2
