Reading and solving problem:  
Some large numerical problems can be solved by substituting numbers with letters and converting them into polynomial problems. Please read the following solution process first, then answer the questions below.  
Example: If $x = 123456789 \times 123456786$ and $y = 123456788 \times 123456787$, compare the sizes of $x$ and $y$.  
Solution: Let $123456788 = a$, then $x = (a + 1)(a - 2) = a^2 - a - 2$  
$y = a(a - 1) = a^2 - a$  
Since $x - y = (a^2 - a - 2) - (a^2 - a) = -2 < 0$  
Therefore, $x < y$
