Work out both quadratics and relate x to y. I. x² − 12x + 35 = 0 II. y² − 9y + 20 = 0

Question

Accepted Answer

x ≥ y. I: (x − 5)(x − 7) = 0, so x = 5 or 7. II: (y − 4)(y − 5) = 0, so y = 4 or 5. x = 5, y = 5 gives equality; all other pairs give x > y. So x ≥ y.

Work out both quadratics and relate $x$ to $y$ . I. $x^{2} - 12 x + 35 = 0$
II. $y^{2} - 9 y + 20 = 0$
