Is Carl correct?

Using the side spotter theorem, the proportion is:

$\frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{AE}{ED}$

This gives:

$\frac{6}{3} = \frac{12}{x}$

This proportion is equivalent to Carl's.

Hence, Carl is correct.

Solving further: Cross Multiply

$6 * x = 12 * 3$

$6 * x = 36$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{36}{6}$

$x = 6$
