Answer:
3 ⇒ 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Apparently "a = b" in this case is used to mean f(a) = b. It appears as though the function is ...
f(x) = x(x+1)
Then f(3) = 3(3+1) = 3·4 = 12

Additional comment
IMO this is a poor use of the equal sign, which should be reserved for situations where the left side expression has the same value as the right side expression.
