Question

y² – x² = 96
y – x = 8

  • A) X > Y
  • B) X < Y
  • C) X ≥ Y
  • D) X ≤ Y
  • E) X = Y or relation cannot be established
Solution

B. X < Y
Explanation:
y² – x² = 96
y – x = 8
(y + x) (y – x) = 96
(y + x) 8 = 96
y + x = 12
y – x = 8
y = 10 and x = 2

B. X < Y
Explanation:
y² – x² = 96
y – x = 8
(y + x) (y – x) = 96
(y + x) 8 = 96
y + x = 12
y – x = 8
y = 10 and x = 2
