Solve the equations below and pick the relation between $x$ and $y$ . I. $x^{2} + 11 x + 24 = 0$
II. $2 y^{2} - 3 y - 2 = 0$

Question

Solve the equations below and pick the relation between x and y. I. x² + 11x + 24 = 0 II. 2y² − 3y − 2 = 0

Accepted Answer

x < y. I: (x+3)(x+8) → x = −3, −8. II: (2y+1)(y−2) → y = −0.5, 2. The largest x is −3, which is still less than the smallest y (−0.5), hence x < y.
