Solve. Difference of a number and 2 is equal to 10. find the number

Answer 1

N-2 =10

N =10+2= 12

The number is 12

unless somehow you really meant

2-N = 10, then

N=2-10 = -8

or if you meant the absolute value of (N-2) = 10,

then N= 12 or -8

the "difference" of 2 numbers could mean any of the above
