Determine If y Can Be Solved in Terms of x

Medium Problem Solving Algebra

Let $x$ and $y$ represent two numbers. We want to determine if the equation $xy = 36$ can be solved for $y$ in terms of $x$. Specifically, we need to check if we can express $y$ exclusively in terms of $x$ using the following statements:

Statement (1): The value of $x$ is greater than 0.

Statement (2): The value of $x$ is 6.

Statement (1) alone is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Statement (2) alone is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

Both statements (1) and (2) together are sufficient, but neither statement alone is sufficient.

Each statement alone is sufficient.

Statements (1) and (2) together are not sufficient.
