To rewrite the given quadratic equation \(6x^2 = 22x\) in standard form, we first move all terms to one side of the equation:

\[ 6x^2 - 22x = 0 \]

Next, we factor out the greatest common factor (GCF), which is 2x:

\[ 2x(3x - 11) = 0 \]

Now we can solve for \(x\) by setting each factor equal to zero:

  1. From \(2x = 0\): \[ x = 0 \]

  2. From \(3x - 11 = 0\): \[ 3x = 11 \implies x = \frac{11}{3} \]

Now we have both solutions. The smaller solution is:

\[ x = 0 \]

And the larger solution is:

\[ x = \frac{11}{3} \]

Thus, the answers are:

  • The smaller solution is \(x = 0\)
  • The larger solution is \(x = \frac{11}{3}\)
