Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1) I. $x^{2}-14 x+48=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-8 x-6 x+48=0$

$\Rightarrow x(x-8)-6(x-8)=0$

$\Rightarrow(x-6)(x-8)=0$

$\Rightarrow x=6$ or 8

II. $y^{2}-5 y+6=0$

$\Rightarrow y^{2}-3 y-2 y+6=0$

$\Rightarrow y(y-3)-2(y-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow(y-3)(y-2)=0$

$\Rightarrow y=2$ or 3
