Given the numerical statement:

12 more than a number.

Representation.

The given numerical statement, can be written as, 

12 + x

x = missing number

We can solve for the value of x by tranposing 12 to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

x = 12

Final answer:

Representation = 12 + x

x = 12
