Computes `x` in the equations `P(a,xr) = p` and `Q(a,xr) = q`, where `a` is a positive parameter and `p` and `q` satisfy `p+q = 1`.

## Notes

-   The equation is inverted with `min(p,q)`.

@private
@param {number} a - scale value of incomplete gamma function
@param {Probability} p - probability value
@param {Probability} q - probability value
@returns {number} solution of the equations `P(a,xr) = p` and `Q(a,xr) = q` where `a` is a positive parameter
