1. The problem states that the sequence starts at 12 and each term increases by 6.
2. This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term $a_1 = 12$ and the common difference $d = 6$.
3. The formula for the $n$th term of an arithmetic sequence is:
$$a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d$$
4. To find the 20th term, substitute $n=20$, $a_1=12$, and $d=6$ into the formula:
$$a_{20} = 12 + (20-1) \times 6$$
5. Simplify the expression:
$$a_{20} = 12 + 19 \times 6$$
$$a_{20} = 12 + 114$$
$$a_{20} = 126$$
6. Therefore, the 20th term of the sequence is 126.
