AI explanation

Solve the first quadratic by splitting the middle term to get x minus twelve times x minus fourteen equals zero, so x equals twelve or fourteen. For the second equation, y minus fourteen times y minus eighteen equals zero, giving y equals fourteen or eighteen. Since x can be equal to y or strictly less than y, no single relationship can be established.
