$x1= -0.88$

$x2=1.71$

Starting with $6x-9/x-5=0$ ,
multiplying both sides of the equation with $x$ , and reordering the terms gives the equation to solve as:

$6x^2-5x-9=0$

factoring (with $a=6, b=-5, c=-9$ ) gives the following solutions for x:

$x= (5+-sqrt((-5)^2-4xx6xx(-9)))/(2xx6)$

$x1= -0.88$

$x2=1.71$
