6x^{2}-6-x^{2}>13x
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
5x^{2}-6>13x
Combine 6x^{2} and -x^{2} to get 5x^{2}.
5x^{2}-6-13x>0
Subtract 13x from both sides.
5x^{2}-6-13x=0
To solve the inequality, factor the left hand side. Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±\sqrt{\left(-13\right)^{2}-4\times 5\left(-6\right)}}{2\times 5}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 5 for a, -13 for b, and -6 for c in the quadratic formula.
x=\frac{13±17}{10}
Do the calculations.
x=3 x=-\frac{2}{5}
Solve the equation x=\frac{13±17}{10} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
5\left(x-3\right)\left(x+\frac{2}{5}\right)>0
Rewrite the inequality by using the obtained solutions.
x-3<0 x+\frac{2}{5}<0
For the product to be positive, x-3 and x+\frac{2}{5} have to be both negative or both positive. Consider the case when x-3 and x+\frac{2}{5} are both negative.
x<-\frac{2}{5}
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x<-\frac{2}{5}.
x+\frac{2}{5}>0 x-3>0
Consider the case when x-3 and x+\frac{2}{5} are both positive.
x>3
The solution satisfying both inequalities is x>3.
x<-\frac{2}{5}\text{; }x>3
The final solution is the union of the obtained solutions.
