    We can make an equation for this, if we call the number in question x, we know that first we had 5x and then 3 was taken from that to get 12

    This gives us 5x - 3 = 12

    We can then add 3 on both sides to get 5x = 15

    Then we can divide both sides by 5 to get x = 3

    So the number was 3

    We can set this up as the equation 5x-3=12. Solve to find x, which is 3.
