Not a very tough question i hope ;)
The answer indeed should be (1/5-1/6) * 2
which should be 30 * 2
... and it is..

Let x be that number.
If one-fifth of the number is two more than one-sixth of the number, that means that
x/5 = (x/6) + 2
That leads to 6x = 5x + 60, which means that x = 60.
To test if the response is correct: one-fifth of 60 is 12, and one-sixth of 60 is 10. As 12 is two more than 10, that shows the result is correct: the number is 60.

Let x be a that number then according to your questiion
1/5 x = 1/6 x + 2
1/5 x - 1/6 x = 2
x/30 = 2
then x = 60
so number is 60
