The value of x is 6, because values are doubled based on the primary value.

Explanation:

From the given diagram,

At the top first value is 4 and second value is 8

The logic in the top of the triangle is based an multiply by first value.

Let, P - First value

Q - Second value

From given, we know that

Q = 2 × P (∵ P=4, Q = 2 × P = 8)

Refer the attachment,

For the vertical side of triangle,

Q = 2 × P

= 2 × 7

Q = 14

From the given and attachment,

x+8 = Q

x+8 = 14

x = 6

Result:

The value of x is 6, because values are doubled based on the primary value is clearly in attachment.
