AI explanation

Simplify the first equation to x squared minus 144 equals 0, which means x is 12 or -12. For the second equation, subtract 6793 from 8521 to get y cubed equals 1728, meaning y equals the cube root of 1728 which is 12. Comparing the values, x is either 12 or -12 and y is 12, so x is less than or equal to y.
