Actually, this looks like a horror, but it isn't really that bad.

x%5E2-%286%2F5%29x%2B9%2F25=0

Note that 9%2F25 = %283%2F5%29%5E2, and -%283%2F5%29%2B%28-%283%2F5%29%29=-%286%2F5%29

So, this factors to:

%28x-3%2F5%29%28x-3%2F5%29=0

%28x-3%2F5%29%28x-3%2F5%29=0 if and only if x=3%2F5, so the two roots of this equation are 3%2F5 and 3%2F5.

Hope this helps,
John
