I. x² − 35x + 306 = 0 II. y² − 33y + 272 = 0. Which relation between x and y holds?

Question

Accepted Answer

x ≥ y. I. (x − 17)(x − 18) = 0, so x = 17 or 18. II. (y − 16)(y − 17) = 0, so y = 16 or 17. Every x is at least every y (equal when both are 17), so x ≥ y.

I. $x^{2} - 35 x + 306 = 0$
II. $y^{2} - 33 y + 272 = 0$ . Which relation between $x$ and $y$ holds?
