Given equation:  3x2-26x+2=0 

Dividing the entire equation, by 3, we get 

x2-263x+23=0

First we move the fraction23 to the right side so that we can make the left side of the equation a perfect square. 

Then we will try to balance the left side by adding the number that will make it a perfect square such that the number will be added on both sides of equation. 

So, x2-263x=-23

x2-2x63+632=-23+632

x-632=-23+69  

x-632=0 

x=63 

x=2×33×3

x=23 

Hence, the solution of the equation 3x2-26x+2=0 is 23.
