Given:

The objective is to find hte value of x.

The value of x can be calculated by basic proportionality theorem.


(12)/(14)=(9)/(x)

Thus, the required equation is obtained.

The value of x is,


\begin{gathered} x=9\cdot(14)/(12) \\ x=(9\cdot14)/(12) \\ x=(126)/(12) \\ x=10.5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the value of x is 10.5
