Factoring the first equation, twelve p squared minus thirty five p plus eighteen equals zero, gives four p minus nine times three p minus two equals zero, which means p equals two point three three repeating or p equals zero point six six repeating. Factoring the second equation, twenty one q squared minus thirteen q plus two equals zero, gives seven q minus two times three q minus one equals zero, which means q equals zero point two eight repeating or q equals zero point three three repeating. Comparing the values, both roots of p are strictly greater than both roots of q. Therefore, p is greater than q.
