To determine which number(s) from the set {9, 12, 14} make the equation 6x = 72 true, we can substitute each number into the equation and see if it satisfies the equation.

Substituting 9 into the equation:
6(9) = 54 ≠ 72
9 does not make the equation true.

Substituting 12 into the equation:
6(12) = 72
12 makes the equation true.

Substituting 14 into the equation:
6(14) = 84 ≠ 72
14 does not make the equation true.

Therefore, the only number from the set {9, 12, 14} that makes the equation 6x = 72 true is 12.
