Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information.

We have:

5x2=13x+6

Step 2. Solve the equation algebraically.      

The equation is 5x2=13x+6.

5x2-13x-6=0

For a quadratic equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0 the solutions are:

x1,2=-b±b2-4ac2a

For a=5,b=-13,c=-6

x1,2=--13±-132-4·5-62·5x1,2=--13±172·5x=3,-25

Step 3. Verify the solution using a graphing utility.      

The solution of the equation is x=-25,3.

Draw the graph of the equation 5x2=13x+6 using the graphing utility:
