Given the statement:

5 + 7 = 12

Write a related subtraction fact.

Solution

To write a related subtraction fact, we simply transpose either 5 or 7 to the other side of the equation. Note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.

5 + 7 = 12

12 - 5 =7

12 - 7 = 5

Final answer:

12 - 5 =7

12 - 7 = 5
