(y-3)(x-4) yields y=3 or x=4 and most importantly, we are suppose to take the union of these two cases and which to me results in a unique value of y. IMO A



If X = 4

Y doesn't have a unique value in (y-3)(x-4)

You see when You take the union It includes cases where Y is 3 and X not equal 4, Y not equal to 3 X =4 and Y=3,X=4...
You only considered one case
just as A U B includes A intersection B....
Hope its clear

Yeah, that stands to reason. I put it so hastily that even didn't realize this. So, nice of you

Is y = 3?

(y - 3)(x - 4) = 0
(x - 4) = 0


Discussed here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/is-y-213219.html

You should put (1) and (2) before each statement.
