To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 45 = x - 12 \), you need to isolate \( x \). This can be done by performing the inverse operation of subtraction, which is addition.
So, the inverse operation needed is **Addition**.
You would add 12 to both sides of the equation:
\[ 45 + 12 = x \]
This simplifies to:
\[ x = 57 \]
