For this problem, we are setting up an equation that represents that two less than a number is 10. So when we are solving this, we are going to have the variable n represent our number. Next, we need to figure out what operation we are using. In these types of problems there are key words to help us figure out what operation we are using. Some examples are greater than(addition), less than(subtraction), times or multiplied by(multiplication) and divided by (division). Our key words in our question are "less than", which means we are subtracting 2 from our number(n). Our expression is n-2(or two less than a number). We are now going to set n-2 equal to 10. to complete our equation. So our final answer is the equation n-2=10. Good luck, hope this helps you and let me know of any more questions you have. :)
