The solution

You have entered [src]
(376 - 18*x)*(200 - 14*x) = 3/2
$$\left(200 - 14 x\right) \left(376 - 18 x\right) = \frac{3}{2}$$
Detail solution
Move right part of the equation to
left part with negative sign.

The equation is transformed from
$$\left(200 - 14 x\right) \left(376 - 18 x\right) = \frac{3}{2}$$
to
$$\left(200 - 14 x\right) \left(376 - 18 x\right) - \frac{3}{2} = 0$$
Expand the expression in the equation
$$\left(200 - 14 x\right) \left(376 - 18 x\right) - \frac{3}{2} = 0$$
We get the quadratic equation
$$252 x^{2} - 8864 x + \frac{150397}{2} = 0$$
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
$$a = 252$$
$$b = -8864$$
$$c = \frac{150397}{2}$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-8864)^2 - 4 * (252) * (150397/2) = 2770408

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

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

or
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{692602}}{252} + \frac{1108}{63}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{1108}{63} - \frac{\sqrt{692602}}{252}$$
