  6     5    
----- + - = 3
x - 2   x    
$$\frac{6}{x - 2} + \frac{5}{x} = 3$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{6}{x - 2} + \frac{5}{x} = 3$$
Multiply the equation sides by the denominators:
x and -2 + x
we get:
$$x \left(\frac{6}{x - 2} + \frac{5}{x}\right) = 3 x$$
$$\frac{11 x - 10}{x - 2} = 3 x$$
$$\frac{11 x - 10}{x - 2} \left(x - 2\right) = 3 x \left(x - 2\right)$$
$$11 x - 10 = 3 x^{2} - 6 x$$
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$11 x - 10 = 3 x^{2} - 6 x$$
to
$$- 3 x^{2} + 17 x - 10 = 0$$
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
$$a = -3$$
$$b = 17$$
$$c = -10$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(17)^2 - 4 * (-3) * (-10) = 169

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

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

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{2}{3}$$
$$x_{2} = 5$$
