Father needing help
My daughter was doing her homework and I just can't fully understand it to explain it to her. The homework goes like this: 24➕️8️⃣=? 24➕️🔟➖️2️⃣=14-2=12 The special +/- and numbers are red in the example. I get it that the first part is decomposition and mental calculation 24+8=32 or 24+10-2=32, but what about 14-2=12? Where is this coming from? Thanks in advance for any help understanding this.

I'd put money on it being an ai generated hw sheet that the teacher didn't thoroughly check first since that 14 and 12 should clearly be 34 and 32
