(1) x+y=36
(2) x=2y

Average of (x+y) houses = (212,000*x + 194,000*y)/(x+y)

Stmt 1: Insufficient since x and y can have many possible values.
Stmt 2: Sufficient. Plugging in 2y for x we can find the average. I think it is safe to assume y cannot be 0, since the average of y houses is defined.

Hence, B for me.
