Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\frac{73 \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x - 3\right) \left(x - 4\right)}{24} + \left(\frac{49 \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x - 3\right) \left(x - 5\right)}{-6} + \left(\frac{29 \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x - 4\right) \left(x - 5\right)}{4} + \left(\frac{\left(x - 3\right) \left(x - 2\right) \left(x - 4\right) \left(x - 5\right)}{24} + \frac{13 \left(x - 3\right) \left(x - 1\right) \left(x - 4\right) \left(x - 5\right)}{-6}\right)\right)\right) = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$2 x^{2} + 6 x - 7 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 2$$
$$b = 6$$
$$c = -7$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(6)^2 - 4 * (2) * (-7) = 92

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = - \frac{3}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{23}}{2}$$
$$x_{2} = - \frac{\sqrt{23}}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$$
