Hardest part is constructing the right equation:
"Twelve subtracted from a number" --> x - 12
"Equals 25" --> = 25
So you should have:
x - 12 = 25
To get x by itself, add 12 to both sides:
x = 25 + 12
x = 37
Double-check by rereading the question...
"Twelve subtracted from a number (37) equals 25". This is true.

Well that's easy, you add 25 and 12. So It's 37.
37-12=25
