There were 16 penguins on the ice at the start.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of penguins at start, hence:

x - 10 + 6 = 12

x - 4 = 12

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

x - 4 + 4 = 12 + 4

x = 16

There were 16 penguins on the ice at the start.
