It's a quadratic equation in disguise. If you let $y=x^{-1}$ , then $y^2=x^{-2}$ , and we can rewrite the equation as

$5y^2-17y+6=0$

Solve for $y$ however you like; we get $y=\dfrac25$ and $y=3$ .

But we want to solve for $x$ , so we have

$y=x^{-1}=\dfrac25\implies x=\dfrac52$

$y=x^{-1}=3\implies x=\dfrac13$
