Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

The image shows a large rectangle with a similar, smaller triangle inside of it. The small leg on the small rectangle is 4, and the small leg on the large rectangle is 12. This tells me that the scale factor is 3.

If the scale factor is 3, then


6*3=6+6x

Simplify


18=6+6x\\12=6x\\x=2\\
