Solve 2x (x−3)=5x−62x\,(x-3)=5x-6. Which option lists both roots correctly? (a) {11+732, 11−732}\left\{\dfrac{11+\sqrt{73}}{2},\,\dfrac{11-\sqrt{73}}{2}\right\} (b) {11+654, 11−654}\left\{\dfrac{11+\sqrt{65}}{4},\,\dfrac{11-\sqrt{65}}{4}\right\} (c) {11+734, 11−734}\left\{\dfrac{11+\sqrt{73}}{4},\,\dfrac{11-\sqrt{73}}{4}\right\} (d) {32, 1}\left\{\dfrac{3}{2},\,1\right\}
