Answer:


\large \boldsymbol {} 6x^2 -5x-14 =0 \\\\ D=25+14\cdot 4\cdot 6 =361=19^2 \\\\ x_1= (5+19)/(12) =2 \\\\\\ x_2 =(5-19)/(12) =-(7)/(6) \\\\ and \ \ we \ \ \ know \ \ that \\\\\ 6x^2 -5x-14 =6 (x-x_1) ( x- x_ 2) = 6 ( x-(-(7)/(6) ))\boldsymbol { ( x-2 ) } \\\\ as \ we \ can \ see \ , \ the \ \ expansion \ is \\\\\ x-2 ; therefore \ \ , \ \ the \ \ answer \ \ is \ \ yes
