A Correct answer
Explanation

Solving equation (I): x^2 - 17x + 72 = 0 factors to (x-8)(x-9) = 0, giving x = 8 or x = 9. Solving equation (II): 3y^2 + 17y + 10 = 0 factors to (3y+2)(y+5) = 0, giving y = -2/3 or y = -5. Since both x values (8, 9) are positive and much larger than both y values (-2/3, -5), in all possible combinations x > y.
