Twelve less than a number equals 25. What is the number?

Answer 1

Let's represent the number as x. The equation "Twelve less than a number equals 25" can be written as x - 12 = 25. To find the value of x, we need to isolate x by adding 12 to both sides of the equation. This gives us x = 25 + 12, which simplifies to x = 37. Therefore, the number is 37.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, let me put on my math hat for a sec. So, if we have a number and we subtract 12 from it, we get 25. That number would be 37. But hey, who's counting anyway, right?

Answer 3

X-12=25 = 25+12= x
(37)
