Both inequalities are likely to give you a range of values as solutions x and y. We need to find whether solutions x and y overlap. If the solutions overlap, we may not be able to make comparison. Otherwise, we can compare.
So, we will have to solve the given inequalities.
1. 4x - 2x ≤ 10 + 14 - 8
2x ≤ 16
x ≤ 8
2. Coverting the expression under the root,
\(16 - 8y + y^2 = (y - 4)^2\)
Solving the given inequality,
\((16 - 8y + y^2)^\frac{1}{2} ≤ 9\)
\(((y - 4)^2)^\frac{1}{2} ≤ 9\)
\(| y - 4 | ≤ 9\)
Solving this absolute value expression by distances on the number line,
-5 ≤ y ≤ 13
We see that the solutions x and y overlap.
Hence, D is the correct answer.

why you put modulus sign after releasing quantity from square root?
