Word problem

There are three drawers in the office file cabinet. The number of files in the second drawer equals the sum of the number of the fils in the second drawer and bottom drawers combined. Donna takes 8 files from the top drawer and puts them on the desk. She also takes 4 files from the bottom drawer and puts them in the second drawer and then takes 6 files from the second drawer and puts them in the top drawer. How many more files are now in the second drawer than in the top and bottom drawers combined?
