    x = 0 ? (Not sure).

    There seems to have something to do with 4, alternating - or +.

    First row: 40 - 16 - (4) = 20

    Second row: 24 - 12 + (4) = 16

    Third row: 12 - 8 - (4) = 0

    Same if you look at it as columns:

    First column: 12 + 24 + (4) = 40

    Second column: 8 + 12 - (4) = 16

    Third column: 0 + 16 + (4) = 20

    just a guess
