Yes the equation can be solved by factoring. Using the given equation take the square root of both sides. Both 169 and 9 are perfect squares so the left side becomes plus or minus 13/3 which is rational. Six plus 13/3 is also a rational number. If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational then the equation is factorable. Please mark a good rating and brainlest

Both169 and 9 are perfect squares.

The square root of 169/9 is rational.

Six plus 13/3 is a rational number, and 6 minus 13/3 is also a rational number.  

If the solutions of a quadratic equation are rational, then the equation is factorable.
