The second expression should be y = ...
Then the answer is easy: x = 30, y = 15, thus answer A is the right one.

To save your time. Notice 24/6 is larger than 24/(6+2） Thus （24/6）+2 to its 5th power must be larger than 24/(6+2) to its 5th power. Therefore X is larger than Y. In conclude, x-y>y-x. Answer A
