Final answer:

Without specific details, the approach to finding when the area of a region is greater than 12 square units could vary. For geometric shapes, it involves calculating areas with given dimensions, and for probability distributions, it involves calculating the cumulative area under a curve to the right of a value x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the values of x that make the area of a certain region greater than 12 square units. Without more context or a specific function or geometric shape mentioned, we can't provide a precise set of values for x. However, I can give guidance on how you might approach such a problem.

For geometric shapes such as rectangles, the area is calculated by multiplying the length by the width. If the blue region is a rectangle, and one of the sides is represented by x, you would be looking for the values of x that satisfy the inequality x times the other side is greater than 12.

In probability, if x represents a value from a continuous probability distribution, you would look for P(X > x) to be greater than 0.12 (if we assume the maximum probability is 1). This means you're looking for areas under the probability density function curve where the cumulative area is greater than 0.12 to the right side of point x.
