I. 6x^2 - 13x + 2 = 0 II. 2y^2 - 19y + 30 = 0 Solve and mark the appropriate answer.

x > y
x < y
x ≥ y
x ≤ y

Correct answer: x ≤ y

Solution

The first equation gives roots x = 2 and x = 1/6. The second equation gives roots y = 15/2 and y = 2. Comparing the possible values, x is always less than or equal to y.
