If neither \(x\) nor \(y\) is equal to 0, is \(3x−2y=0\)?

(1) \(27x^3−8y^3=0\)

(2) \(9x^2−4y^2=0\)

I read in one of the explanations by Bunuel or someone else credible that in Gmat we consider root of x to be
+ve value only. Where in x^2, x can be +ve or -ve. Is that not correct?
How is B not sufficient?

Consider these two possible solutions:
Solution #1: x = 2 and y = 3 (these values satisfy the statement 1 equation). In this case, the answer to the target question is "YES, 3x−2y equals 0"
Solution #2: x = -2 and y = 3 (these values satisfy the statement 1 equation). In this case, the answer to the target question is "NO, 3x−2y does not equal 0"
