In each of the following two equations, find the values of $x$ and $y$ and choose the correct relation. I. $x^{2} - 3 x + 2 = 0$
II. $y^{2} - 9 y + 20 = 0$

Question

In each of the following two equations, find the values of x and y and choose the correct relation. I. x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0 II. y^2 - 9y + 20 = 0

Accepted Answer

x < y. I: x = 1, 2. II: y = 4, 5. The largest x (2) is less than the smallest y (4), so x < y.
