Answer:

43

Explanation:

We can find an answer to this question by setting up an equation.

-31+x=12

x is the unknown amount we should add to -31 to obtain 12.

Now, to solve it for the variable, x, we need to add 31 to both sides.

Upon doing this we obtain.

x=43

∴, 43 should be added to -31 to get 12
