x=5x = \text{5}

y=8y = \text{8}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

Okay Duke, let's find xx and yy.

  1. Identify the complete set of residues modulo 9.

    The complete set of residues modulo 9 consists of all non-negative integers less than 9.
    This set is {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}.

  2. Compare the given set with the complete set of residues.

    The given set is (0,1,2,x,4,3,6,y,7)(0, 1, 2, x, 4, 3, 6, y, 7).
    Let's list the known elements from the given set in ascending order: {0,1,2,3,4,6,7}\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7\}.

  3. Determine the missing elements.

    By comparing the known elements from the given set with the complete set of residues modulo 9, we can see which numbers are missing.
    Missing elements = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}−{0,1,2,3,4,6,7}={5,8}\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\} - \{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7\} = \{5, 8\}.
    Therefore, xx and yy must be 5 and 8.

  4. Apply the condition x<yx < y.

    Given that x<yx < y, we assign the smaller missing value to xx and the larger missing value to yy.
    So, x=5x = 5 and y=8y = 8.

    The values are:

    x=5x = \boxed{\text{5}} y=8y = \boxed{\text{8}}
