You'll need to save that javascript variable into a hidden input, which will post with your form when you do a postback. You'll be able to access the value via:

string value = Request.Form["hiddenName"];

Assuming you declare your hidden input like this:

<input type="hidden" id="hiddenValue" name="hiddenName" />

You can set this value like this with native JavaScript:

document.getElementById("hiddenValue").value = "12";

or with jQuery like this:

$("#hiddenValue").val("12");

If you'd like to make sure this hidden input is automatically saved to the JavaScript variable x before you post back, you could do the following with jQuery

$("#form1").submit(function () {
     $("#hiddenValue").val(x);
});

Or this with native JavaScript:

document.getElementById("form1").addEventListener("submit", function () {
       document.getElementById("hiddenValue").value = x;
});

If you're not using jQuery, and you opt for this native option, just make sure you put the script at the bottom of the body section; do not put this script in the head, since the dom is not formed yet, and you will get a null error.

And obviously this all assumes your form element looks like this:

<form id="form1" runat="server">

if yours has a different id, then adjust accordingly.
