function max(x, y){
 var largestNumber = Math.max(x,y);
  if (x > y){
    alert(x + "is the larger number") 
  } else {
    alert(y + "is the larger number")

The additional alerts may be throwing it off. If you delete this:

if (x > y){
    alert(x + "is the larger number") 
  } else {
    alert(y + "is the larger number") 
  }

then you pass both challenges
