In some logic it's 20, but it could be 10 as well, or maybe something else? Who knows..

Some logic 20, but probably some "unknown parameters" not pre-described. Theoretically accurate maths questions always reveal parameters in the question 
Tried reverse image search, it seems this is an original edit (dammit!).

I'd say it's 20... 6x2 + 4x2 = 20
but... since nowhere it says that 4+4= 16, the answer could be 6x2+4=16

The answer is 16. The first number is being multiplied by 4 each time with the second number in each math problem being "times 4" (which I will explicate in a moment). So in the case of the last number, which is 2/3 of the original "times 4" number (2.666666667) you would get 16.
- 5+5=20 (5x4=20)
- 6+6=24 (6x4=24)
- 7+7=28 (7x4=28)
- 8+8=32 (8x4=32)
So 6+4=16 (8x2.66666667=16)

If 20 is not the answer, the only other straightforward answer I can think of is 28
