In the two equations below, solve for $x$ and $y$ and choose the correct relation. I. $3 x^{2} - 10 x + 8 = 0$
II. $y^{2} - 5 y + 6 = 0$

Competition practiceQuadratic Comparison

A $x > y$
B $x < y$
C $x$ ≤ $y$
D $x$ ≥ $y$

Step-by-Step Solution

x = 4/3

or 2 and

y = 2

or 3; every value of

x

is less than or equal to every value of

y

, so

x

≤

y

.

Answer: C)

x

≤

y
