Solutions: -5/9, 8/9


in ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 form:

x%5E2-%281%2F3%29x-40%2F9=0...or multiply all by 9
9x%5E2-3x-40=0
oupsssss, correction:
%281%2F81%29%2A%289x-8%29%2A%289x%2B5%29=0
x%5E2-x%2F3-40%2F81=0
81x%5E2-27x-40=0

(x+5/9)*(x-8/9)=0
Are a, b and c fractions or integers?
You say no to both?
1/81*(9x-8)*(9x+5)=0
x^2-x/3-40/81=0
81x^2-27x-40=0
