Question

    The following question contains two equations as I and

    II.You have to solve both equations and determine the relationship between them. I). a² - 26a + 165 = 0 II). b² + 8b - 153 = 0
    A a > b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B a < b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C a ≥ b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D a ≤ b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E a = b or the relationship between x and y cannot be determined. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    I. a² - 26a +165 = 0 a² - 15a – 11a + 165 = 0 (a - 15)(a - 11) = 0  a = 15, 11 II. b² + 8b – 153 = 0 b² - 9b + 17b – 153 = 0  (b +17) (b – 9) = 0 b = -17, 9 Therefore a > b.
