Answer:

x=7

Explanation:

As seen from the higher two numbers, there is a distinct ratio between the shorter side and the longer side. To find the ratio we simply get the given two without the x and we get 8:12 which simplifies to 2:3 or 1: 1.5

This means in order to find 3x-6, we need to multiply 10 by 1.5 which means:

3x-6=15

3x=21

x=7

Hope this helped!
