ADF navigation question

Ask a Flight Instructor

An aircraft is flying to an ADF. The true heading to the ADF is 90°. The magnetic heading is 088° (2°E variation). After a few minutes, the pilot discovers that he has drifted 10° to the left, and the ADF needle indicates 020° relative bearing. What is the magnetic heading the aircraft should fly to in order to reach the ADF? The answer is 118 degrees, but I don’t understand why.
