12+?

it's no solution:

y + 12 =  y + 10 + 2
y + 12 =  y + 12
y         =  y

this is true for any y

unklerhaukus · Answer

0 = 0 
is true no matter what y is equal to

unklerhaukus · Answer

for example

y could be 3

 (3) + 12 = (3) + 10 + 2
          15 = 15

or y could be -8

 (-8) + 12 = (-8) + 10 + 2
              4 = 4

y can be anything
