From the table,
  • y + 4 = -5 .......... (1)
    z + 4 = m .......... (2)
    y + e = n .......... (3)
    z + e = 10 .......... (4)
Hence, adding (1) and (4), (z + y + e + 4) = 10 - 5 = 5
And, adding and (2) and (3), (m + n) = z + y + e + 4 = 5

Hence, the value of (m + n) is 5.

Just to prevent others from getting confused as I did, I have created an image of it to make it understandable.
