_____
If this does not immediately come to mind, you can solve for the number, x:
x/3 -x/4 = 1 . . . . the difference between 1/3 of x and 1/4 of x is 1
x/12 = 1 . . . . . . . collect terms: (1/3 -1/4 = 4/12 -3/12 = 1/12)
x = 12 . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

Explanation:
Theorems about triangles identify relationships that can be used to formulate equations that can be used in the problem-solving process.
The idea with problem solving is to start with what you know, and make use of the relationships between that and what you don't know in order to find a solution.
I think the answer is 4x^2 (x+6)
