If x is a positive integer greater than 1, what is the value ofx?

x>1

(1) 2x is a common factor of 18 and 24

As 2x is a common fator of 18 & 24, lets fiigure out what can take the value of 2x

18 = 1*2*3*3
24 = 1*2*2*2*3

Common factors are: 1*2*3 = = 2*3 - Here 3 replaces x from the equation 2x, so get the value of x = 3 which is > 1

Hence =====>(1) is SUFFICIENT

(2) x is a factor of 6
x is a factor of 6

Which means x can be any of these numbers: 1, 2, 3

As you an clearly
