So this is in the "completing the square section" so using that method:

Divide by 6 for both sides.

Actually this question was made bcoz I saw no question to include in,brilliant wiki where I wrote articles,,
I solved it with the factorization method : 6 ϰ 2 − 3 1 ϰ + 3 5 = 0 6 ϰ 2 − 1 0 ϰ − 2 1 ϰ + 3 5 = 0 (by breaking the middle term into 2 parts) 2 ϰ ( 3 ϰ − 5 ) − 7 ( 3 ϰ − 5 ) = 0 (taking a common term) ( 2 ϰ − 7 ) ( 3 ϰ − 5 ) = 0 Now one of the two terms will be equal to zero for the answer to be zero 2 ϰ − 7 = 0 ; 3 ϰ − 5 = 0 2 ϰ = 7 ; 3 ϰ = 5 ϰ = 2 7 ; ϰ = 3 5 2 7 ; 3 5

We can use quadratic equation to solve this question.
In this quadratic equation: 6 x 2 − 3 1 x + 3 5 = 0 , we take:
a = 6 , b = − 3 1 , c = 3 5
= 2 a − b + − b 2 − 4 a c
= 2 × 6 − ( − 3 1 ) + − ( − 3 1 ) 2 − 4 × 6 × 3 5
= 1 2 3 1 + − 9 6 1 − 8 4 0
= 1 2 3 1 + − 1 2 1
= 1 2 3 1 + − 1 1
= 1 2 3 1 + 1 1 and 1 2 3 1 − 1 1
= 1 2 4 2 and 1 2 2 0
= 2 7 and 3 5
So, the roots of the equation are: 2 7 and 3 5
Thus, the answer is: 2 7 , 3 5
