    y=(5/6) x*(2x^2 +27x +91) .....factor 2x^2 +27x +91

    2x^2 +27x +91
    =2x^2 +14x+13x +91
    =(2x^2 +14x)+(13x +91)
    =2x(x +7)+13(x +7)
    =(x + 7) (2 x + 13)
    y=(5/6) x*(x + 7) (2 x + 13)
    so, you have

    set y=0

    (5/6) x*(x + 7) (2 x + 13) =0

    equal each factor to 0

    (5/6) x =0 => x=0

    (x + 7) = 0 => x=-7

    (2 x + 13) =0 => x=-13/2
