Answer

{$\frac{2}{7},\frac{1}{3}$}

Work Step by Step

Using the rules for the factoring of trinomials, we obtain: $21x^{2}-13x+2=0$ $21x^{2}-6x-7x+2=0$ $3x(7x-2)-1(7x-2)=0$ $(7x-2)(3x-1)=0$ $(7x-2)=0$ and $(3x-1)=0$ $7x=2$ and $3x=1$ $x=\frac{2}{7}$ and $x=\frac{1}{3}$ Therefore, the solution set is {$\frac{2}{7},\frac{1}{3}$}.
