Maple 15 does not produce a solution to diff(eq,x)=0;  But, one exists.

eqn := (2*x^2-5*x+2)/(5*x^2-7*x-6);
deq:=diff(eqn,x);
solve(deq=0,x);
# returns no solution
eq2 := op(1, deq) = op(2, deq);
solve(eq2,x,AllSolutions);
returns two solutions as I expect.

numer(eqn) is zero at x=2 and x=1/2
denom(eqn) is zero at x=2 and x=-3/5

eqn is zero at x=1/2 and undefined at x=2 and x=-3/5.  I assume 0/0 is
undefined.

limit(eqn,x=2) is 3/13.

How can I use solve to do produce a solution for diff(eq,x)=0?

I think if you plot  deq as function of x you'll see why
there is no solution. deq is positive for all x.

and, simplified, deq = 11/(5*x+3)^2, so we can see it is never zero.
However, it has a pole at x=-3/5, maybe that is what you want to find?

Did you not forget a minus sign, when you wrote,

   eq2 := op(1, deq) = op(2, deq);

for `deq` a sum of two operands?

If you want deq=0, you should look at
eq2 := op(1, deq) = -op(2, deq);
(please note the sign of op(2,deq);

Cheers,
