Review: Value of x


Explanation

This question asks for a "value" of x, and "value" means "number" on GMAT questions. So Statement (1) is sufficient: it gives us the value of x. Meanwhile, Statement (2) is coy: it tells us that the value of x is one of two possible values, but we don't know which one. So statement (2) "ALONE," as answer choice (B) says, is not the answer.

The correct answer is (A).
