Answer:

  • x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The figures are similar, therefore they have equal ratio of corresponding sides:

  • 12/x = 16/24
  • 12/x = 2/3
  • x = 12*3/2
  • x = 18
  • 12:16=x:24

So

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{12}{16}=\dfrac{x}{24}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{x}{24}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 4x=72[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=18[/tex]
