Answer: x - (3 * 4) = 12, x = 24

Explanation:

Let ‘x’ be the Unknown Number

Framing the Equation :-

=> x - (3 * 4) = 12

Solving the Equation :-

x - (3 * 4) = 12 (First Multiply 3 and 4)
x - (12) = 12 (Now, open the bracket)
x - 12 = 12 (Now, shift 2 to RHS)
x = 12 + 12 (12 becomes positive)
=> x = 24

Hence, the Unknown Number is 24.
