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.
