\(2x+y^2>6\)
\(y^2\) will always be greater than or equal to \(0\)
To get the maximum value of \(x\), take \(y = 0\)
\(x > 3\)
So \(x\) can take any value more than \(3\)
Answer D

If 2x + y² > 6, then it COULD be the case that x = 10 and y = 10
In this case, we get:
Quantity A: 10
Quantity B: 4
Quantity A is greater
Similarly, if 2x + y² > 6, then it COULD be the case that x = 0 and y = 10
In this case, we get:
Quantity A: 0
Quantity B: 4
Quantity B is greater
Answer: D
