@MrGeek is right. @ScottPickslay, just saying Num - 20 will calculate the answer you're looking for but you are not using that answer. By saying Num = num - 20, you are storing the answer of Num -20 back into Num. 

Num = random.randint(1,100)
Print(Num) # Lets say this outputs the number 57
Num = Num - 20
Print(Num) # Then this will now be 37

Store the result of subtraction back to Num, don't just calculate it:

Num = Num - 20

Or:

Num -= 20
