X and Y are distinct non negative real numbers. What is the sum (X+Y)?

(1) (X^2 - Y^2)/(X-Y) = 6

(2) (X+Y)^2 = 36

From statement 1:

$$\frac{x^2-y^2}{x-y} = 6$$

$$\frac{(x+y)(x-y)}{x-y} = 6$$

$$x+y = 6$$
Sufficient.

From statement 2:

$$(x+y)^2 = 36$$
x+y = +6 or -6
Insufficient.

A is the answer.

Answer should be D if you account for the fact that x and y are non negative, therefore x+y=-6 is not a viable option.
