I know as usual I am probably missing something, or something is missing from the question, but doesn't it ask is
(A+B) >= (X+Y) ... but then statement 1) explicitly notes....(X+Y) <= (A+B)....

Too good/obvious to be true, it probably isn't, so I'm curious as to the correct answer and explanation. [/quote]

translating question into algebra
|a+b| >= |x+y|?

(2) |a+b| >= |x+y| is Sufficient to answer Yes

(1) -(A+B)<= (X+Y) <=(A+B)
(2) |A+B| >= (X+Y)

There was a typo in the question. My apologies for the confusion.

Instead of a+b >= x+y the question is a+b = x+y

with the question modified, how it's possible to solve equation with changing signs within inequalities; then answer turns e
