Reverse mathematic equation

Question

Does anyone know how to reverse this equation when only Y, Z are known? I want to know what X is.

(X + Y) % 62 = Z

Maybe try on http://math.stackexchange.com/. And you want to *solve* this equation, not reverse it. — Benjamin Bannier, Sep 11 '12 at 13:34

(X + Y) % 62 = Z

means that X+Y = 62*n + Z for arbitrary integer n, from that follows

X = 62*n+Z-Y

where n can be any integer value, if you need single solution you can pick arbitrary one or if you have any extra limitations on X value you'll need to find X that satisfies them

X = Z - Y + 62*n

where n is any integer.
