­If the sum of x and 20 is 8 more than the difference of 10 and y, what is the value of x + y?

(A) –2
(B) 8
(C) 9
(D) 28
(E) not enough information

correct me if I am wrong, It’s not given that in 10 and y which one is greater so difference of 10 and y can be either (10 - y) or (y - 10) so the answer should be "not enough information" (option E) in my opinion. 

x + 20 = 8 + (10 - y) 
then, x + y = -2

But if 

x + 20 = 8 + (y - 10) 
then, x = y - 22 and then value of (x + y) can’t be determined. 
­Fixed the issue. Thank you!
