4. In these questions, two equations are given. You have to solve both the equations and mark the appropriate answer.x2 + 11x+ 30 = 0y2 + 7y + 12 = 0

X < y

X > y

X ≤ y

X ≥ y

X = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be determined

To find the relationship between x and y, we need to solve both equations.

For the first equation, we can factorize it as (x + 5)(x + 6) = 0. This gives us two possible values for x: x = -5 or x = -6.

For the second equation, we can factorize it as (y + 3)(y + 4) = 0. This gives us two possible values for y: y = -3 or y = -4.

Comparing the possible values of x and y, we can see that for both cases (x = -5 or x = -6), y is always greater than x. Therefore, the correct answer is x

9. In these questions, two equations are given. You have to solve both the equations and mark the appropriate answer. 9x- 15.45 = 54.55 +4x√(y + 155) - √36 = √49

X < y

X > y

X ≤ y

X ≥ y

X = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be determined

By solving the first equation, we can simplify it to 5x = 109. By solving the second equation, we can simplify it to √(y + 155) = 7. Since the first equation gives a unique value for x and the second equation gives a unique value for y, we can conclude that x and y are equal, i.e., x = y. Therefore, the relationship between x and y can be determined as x = y.

X > y

X ≤ y

X ≥ y

X = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be determined

The given equations are 225x^2 - 4 = 0 and √225y + 2 = 0.
To solve the first equation, we can rewrite it as 15x^2 - 2 = 0 by taking the square root of 225 and simplifying. Solving this quadratic equation, we find that x = ±√(2/15).
To solve the second equation, we can rewrite it as √(225y) = -2 and then square both sides to eliminate the square root. This gives us 225y = 4, and solving for y, we find that y = 4/225.
Comparing the values of x and y, we can see that x ≥ y. Therefore, the correct answer is x ≥ y.
