Answer:

1257

Explanation:

equation:

n-556=701

Step 1: Add 556 to both sides.

n-556= 701

+556= + 556

------------------- (-556+556=0)

n=701+556

Step 2: Add n (701) and 556

n=701+556

n=1257

Check by plugging 1257 in the equation!

n-557=701

1257-557=701

701=701

Therefore, the answer to this question is 1257.
