Do you mean to say that we can not simplify the question the way I did?
When you cancel out x from each side, you get -y>y. This means y<0. So without even looking at b, you know y is negative. So B provides you with no new information. You already know a is not enough I assume.
Together a and b can give you different answers. Hence, E.
Being defeated is often only a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.
