Answer:

The value of x is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the triangles are similar, then the following is correct:


\begin{gathered} (x)/(18)=(16)/(12) \\ \end{gathered}

Solving for x from the above equation, we have:


\begin{gathered} 12x=16*18 \\ x=(16*18)/(12) \\ \\ =24 \end{gathered}
