Ok the debrief... 25yrs old. NYC. Work in Financial Services (S&T). Minority. The thought of business school has been lingering for a while now and finally decided to make a push for a top 5-10 program. I was in SEO (Wall Street summer internship program) so a number of my classmates have either...

I agree with your reasoning..but from the information in (1) we know that angle A and angle C have to sum 60 degrees. They don't in your answer....

Manhattan GMAT DS

Does the equation y = (x – p)(x – q) intercept the x-axis at the point (2,0)?

(1) pq = -8

(2) -2 – p = q

Why can't you say 0 = (2-p)(2-q) = 4-2p-2q+pq

Therefore, 4=2p+2q-pq

(1) pq=-8

4=2p+2q+8
-4=2p+2q
p+q=-2
...seems like you can solve from here...and

OA - C not sure why
