To find: x = y
Statement 1:
2y - x = y + x
y = 2x
We dont know whether x & y are 0.
INSUFFICIENT
Statement 2:
2x + y = x + 20
x + y = 20
We cannot comment on x & y values
INSUFFICIENT
Combining...
y = 2x
x + y = 20
We can solve and get the results.

I think your first statement should be 2y - x = y + x ("gives the same result as y added to x")theCodeToGMAT wrote:To find: x = y

We dont know about "x"

y = 0
x + y = 20
that impiles, x = 20
We can answer that x !=y
