I. 2x2 + 3x – 20 = 0

⇒ 2x2 + 8x – 5x – 20 = 0

⇒ 2x(x + 4) – 5(x + 4) = 0

⇒ (2x – 5)(x + 4) = 0

Then, x = (5/2) or x = (-4)

II. 2y2 + 19y + 44 = 0

⇒ 2y2 + 11y + 8y + 44 = 0

⇒ y(2y + 11) + 4(2y + 11) = 0

⇒ (y + 4)(2y + 11) = 0

Then, y = (-4) or y = (-11/2)

So, when x = (5/2), x > y for y = (-11/2) and x > y for y = (-4)

And when x = (-4), x > y for y = (-11/2) and x = y for y = (-4)

∴ So, we can find x ≥ y.
