Okay, I admit maths is not my best subject, but I'll try to solve it. I MAY be wrong though. It's been such a long time since I did something like this, which reminds me of my school days.

Sooo since you are in a lower grade currently, I'll do it in an easy way for you to understand. The way I do it is harder and more confusing.

4 ( 3 - x ) = 2x

Since 4 is outside bracket and 3 and x are inside bracket, we can multiply 4 by 3, which gives 12. And we can also multiply 4 by x, which gives 4x. When there's a bracket, we can always multiply, but remember that when we have  done the multiplication, the bracket is removed:

12 - 4x = 2x

This may be the answer you want, but just to be safe, I'll solve the question further.

2x stays the same since we solved the other side first.

So then now we can take 4x on the other side, and since there's a -, it turns into a + when it goes to the other side.

12 = 2x + 4x

2 + 4 is 6, and we need to put the x with it too.

12 = 6x

6 and x are trying to be multiplied, but can't.

Now we can take 6 on the other side to leave x alone. And whenever something is being multiplied in one side goes to the other side, it's divided.

6/12 = x

12 and 6 are being divided here. 12 and 6 are both multplies of the tables 2, 3, and 6. Since I don't want to go into a longer detail, I'll directly cut 6 and 12 by 6.

6.2 = 12 (the dot can be represented as the multiplication symbol too)

6.1 = 6

And now the answer is 2/1 = x

But since 1 isn't really an important when it's the denominator (the lower number of the fraction), we can remove it.

So, our overall answer is:

2 = x

I hope it was easy for you to understand. There may be errors, but I tried doing the best I could.
