Answer 2

Okay so we know difference means to subtract, and we know by saying "a number" they mean the value is unknown. Since idk if you have to use a specific variable for this problem, I'll use n as an example. So it's basically saying we're subtracting 12 from an unknown number and that it'll equal 20. So the equation would be n-12=20.
