The correct number is 12.
Let's substitute each guess into the equation and see which one satisfies it:
1. For x = 6: 3(6) - 10 = 18 - 10 = 8 (Incorrect)
2. For x = 12: 3(12) - 10 = 36 - 10 = 26 (Correct)
3. For x = 13: 3(13) - 10 = 39 - 10 = 29 (Incorrect)
4. For x = 36: 3(36) - 10 = 108 - 10 = 98 (Incorrect)
Therefore, the correct guess is x = 12.
