#x = 12/25#
or

#x = 0.48#

Explanation:

Since #x# is being multiplied by #25#, you have to divide (the inverse of multiplication) to get rid of the #25# that's multiplied.

#(12) / 25 = (x * 25) / 25#

If you divide by #25# on one side, you have to divide the other side by the same number to keep it equivalent.

So, #12/25 = x#
