Problem

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an equilateral triangle. Two points $D$ and $E$ are chosen on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$, respectively, such that $AD = CE$. Let $F$ be the intersection of $\overline{AE}$ and $\overline{CD}$. The area of $\triangle ABC$ is 13 and the area of $\triangle ACF$ is 3. If $\frac{CE}{EA}=\frac{p+\sqrt{q}}{r}$, where $p$, $q$, and $r$ are relatively prime positive integers, compute $p+q+r$.

Solution
