Gamma parameters from mean and variance

Let XX be a random variable with the probability density function

f(x)={αpΓ(p)e−αxxp−1,x≥0,α>0,p>0, 0,otherwise.f(x)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{\alpha^p}{\Gamma(p)}e^{-\alpha x}x^{p-1}, & x\ge0, \alpha>0, p>0,\ 0, & \text{otherwise.}\end{cases}

If E(X)=20E(X)=20 and Var(X)=10Var(X)=10, then (α,p)(\alpha,p) is
