  X+X+6=12
  X=3
  quantity of water we taken out=12-3=9

• sink has 12 litres
  x quantity is taken out
  implies, remaining quantity is 12-x
  
  framing the statement "remaining water is 6 liters less then the water taken out "
  we have, 12-x=x-6
  on solving, we get x=9

• answer is 9 liters.
  solution is:-
  let x be the quantity of water taken out. so, remaining water=12-x.
  but, remaining water = x-6
  so, x-6=12-x
  gives x=9 liters answer.

• Consider Remaining water as "X" & Water taken out as "Y"
  Given : Total =X+Y=12
  From the question we observe that X=Y-6
  Then Y-6+Y=12
  2Y=18 .....(i.e) Y=9 (Water Taken out = 9)

• let water taken out is = x liter
  remaining water after taken out x liters of water=6-x
  so
  6-x=12-x
  x=9

• let water taken out is x
  then remaining water is 12-x
  here given that remaining water is 6 liters less then the water taken out.then x is
  x-(12-x)=6
  x-12+x=6
  2x=18
  then x=9 liters.
  quantity of water taken out is 9 liters.
