The figure shows a quadrilateral.

Angles of Quadrilateral are 180-x, 180-y, 180-z, 180- w and the sum of all the interior angles of Quadrilateral is 360.

Which gives x+y = 360 - (w+z)

So both statements put together sufficient.

Stmt 2:

Not Sufficient... Tens digit may or may not change is 9 is added, thus leaving the question open for attack.
