What is the value of y?

(1) |x+9|=y. y is equal to the absolute value of some numbers, which implies that y must be more than or equal to 0 (\(y\geq{0}\)). That's the only thing we can deduce from this statement. Not sufficient.

(2) y^2=9 --> y = 3 or y = -3. Not sufficient.

(1)+(2) Since from (1) \(y\geq{0}\), then from (2) y = 3. Sufficient.

Answer: C.

Hope it's clear.

What is the value of y?

Stat1: |x + 9| = y; although, we can say y> =0, but, we don't know about x. So, we can't get value of y. Not sufficient

Stat2: \(y^2\) = 9; y = +3, -3. Not sufficient

Combining both, y =3. Sufficient

So, I think C. :)

What is the value of y?

(1) |x + 9| = y
Not sufficient

(2) y^2 = 9
y can be +3 or -3

Combined Y is positive from statement 1 and y is +3

So C is the right answer
