Answer:
x=24

Step-by-step explanation: Since the ratio of 6:3 is a 2:1 ratio simplified, you know that x will need to double the value on the other side. Therefore, you can just multiply 12 by 2 to get the x-value which is 24. Another method is to see that the 3 on the other side of the ratio is 1/4 the value of 12. This means that the 6 is 1/4 the value of x. if you multiply 4 on both sides x=24. Those are the two methods I recommend you use to solve these ratio problems.
