Target question: What is the value of y?lheiannie07 wrote:What is the value of y?
(1) y² + 8y + 16 = 0
(2) y < 0
Statement 1: y² + 8y + 16 = 0
Factor to get: (y + 4)(y + 4) = 0
This means that y = -4
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 1 is SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: y < 0
This tells us that y can equal ANY negative value
So, statement 2 is NOT SUFFICIENT
Answer: A
