I would say E)
since x and y can be both positive or both negative and this changes the value of x+y
P.S: I may be off but dint go in to the details since there is a possibility that I stated above could exist even after we figure out the numbers based on stmt I and II by themselves or together .
+20 or -20 for taking an educated guess

For example, I like your plugging number method at this problem. Good job!cramya wrote:Take 60,20
It can be -60 and -20
x+y = 80 or -80
