Question

In order for the parallelogram to be a rhombus, x=?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal must be an angle bisector for a rhombus.

That means that both bisected angles are equal.

2x + 16 = 5x - 8            Add 8 to both sides

2x + 16 + 8 = 5x

2x + 24 = 5x                 Subtract 2x from both sides

24 = 5x - 2x

24 = 3x                         Divide by 3

24/3 = x

x = 8
