Roots are p and v.
(BETTER CHOICE MIGHT BE ROOTS ARE p AND 4p )

, and
(using formulas for sum and product of roots of quadratic equation).

Let v be the larger sized root.


Question is, solve for h:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The given equation

 = 

is the same as

 = 0,

which is equivalent to

 = 0.     (1)


Let one root be r.

Then the other root is 4r, according to the condition.


The sum of the roots is equal to the coefficient at "x" in the equation (1) taken with the opposite sign (the Vieta's theorem). Hence

r + 4r = ,   or   5r = ,   which implies  r = .


Now substitute  into equation (1) and take into account that  is the root. You will get

 = 0.


It is your equation to find h.   Simplify and solve for h:

 -  = ,

-1 = ,

h-1 = -2  ====>  h = -2 + 1 = -1.


Answer.  h = -1.

Solved.

Ignore the solution by @josgaritmetic, since it leads to nowhere.
