Most test-takers would have a tough time judging sufficiency here based solely on a glance. However, the fact that the second statement is blatantly insufficient — it doesn’t even mention the variables in the question stem — should start you thinking that perhaps you can use that information to decode the first statement. To do so, we’d need somehow to group m and n together in the first equation so we could replace them with their sum of 6. We can rearrange the equation as: mx + my + nx + ny = 10.
