Answer:

Way 1: Determine "what" plus 3 equals 12

Way 2: Regularly take away 3 from 12

Explanation:

[1] Let's see if I am correct, shall we?


n+3=12

Subtract 3 from both sides giving you...


n=9

--

[2] Let's see if I am correct, shall we?


12-3=n

Take away 3 from 12 which gives you...


9=n
