First multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction:
2x^3 + 3x^2 − 15x + 27 = 0.

Rational Root Theorem yields no simple rational roots, so the cubic has one real root and two complex conjugate roots. Numerically solving gives

- Real root: x ≈ −4.119871
- Complex roots: x ≈ 1.309936 ± 1.255824 i

(So the exact factorization is 2(x + 4.119871)(x − (1.309936 + 1.255824 i))(x − (1.309936 − 1.255824 i)), with the numerical coefficients above rounded.)
