If $$a$$ ≠ $$b$$, what is the value of $$a + b$$
I. $$a^2 - (b^2 \div a) = b = 6$$
II. $$(a + b)^2 = 36$$

A

If statement I by itself is sufficient to answer the question, but statement II by itself is not.

B

If statement II by itself is sufficient to answer the question, but statement I by itself is not.

C

If statements I and II taken together are sufficient to answer the question, even though neither statement by itself is sufficient.
