M + 12 = 10 solve equation

OK. Watch carefully, as I guide you through the mysterious and

complex methods of solution, taught to me from the ancient

sacred scrolls of Tibet. It won't be easy, but I'll go slow so that

neither of us gets lost along the path, to the ultimate wisdom.

Remember ... the "solution" is the number that 'M' must be, in order

to make the equation a true statement. Ready? Here we go.

Fossen your seat belt, it's goin to be eh boompy rade, mon:

The equation. You said that M + 12 = 10
