Solve for \(N\) in \(12-14.34=N\).
Solve for \(N\).
\[12-14.34=N\]
Simplify \(12-14.34\) to \(-2.34\).
\[-2.34=N\]
Switch sides.
\[N=-2.34\]
\[N=-2.34\]
Substitute \(N=-2.34\) into \(234.23-122.34=N\).
Start with the original equation.
\[234.23-122.34=N\]
Let \(N=-2.34\).
\[234.23-122.34=-2.34\]
Simplify.
\[111.89=-2.34\]
\[111.89=-2.34\]
Since \(111.89=-2.34\) is not true, this is an inconsistent system.
