Yes, unless of course you did:
instance (Monad m, Num n) => Num (m n)
or some such nonsense. :)

This would be equally wrong. Perhaps you meant:
do let x = return 12
let x = (<- x)
...
Then this would become:
do let x = return 12
t1 <- x
let x = t1
...
Which is, in turn:
let x = return 12 in x >>= (\t1 -> let x = t1 in ...)
