Correct Answer: 14.(1)
Solution: (1) I. $3 x^{2}-13 x+14=0$
$\Rightarrow 3 x^{2}-6 x-7 x+14=0$
$\Rightarrow 3 x(x-2)-7(x-2)=0$
$\Rightarrow(3 x-7)(x-2)=0$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{7}{3}$ or 2
II. $2 y^{2}-5 y+3=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 y^{2}-2 y-3 y+3=0$
$\Rightarrow 2 y(y-1)-3(y-1)=0$
$\Rightarrow(y-1)(2 y-3)=0$
$\Rightarrow y=1$ or $\frac{3}{2}$
Clearly, $x>y$
