From I:

x² - 5x - 66 = 0

x² - 11x + 6x - 66 = 0

(x - 11)(x + 6) = 0

x = 11, -6

From II:

y² + 21y + 104 = 0

y² + 13y + 8y + 104 = 0

(y + 13)(y + 8) = 0

y = -13, -8

When x = 11, y = -13, then x > y

When x = 11, y = -8, then x > y

When x = -6, y = -13, then x > y

When x = -6, y = -8, then x > y

Hence, x > y
