Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

Comment

BD is already given to you as bisected. AC must also be bisected. That means that 6x and 7x - 5 must the the same value. Then and only then will the figure be a parallelogram. (a four sided figure is a parallelogram if the 2 diagonals are bisected.

Equation

6x = 7x - 5 Subtract 6x from both sides

Solution

6x - 6x = 7x - 6x - 5 Simplify

0 = x - 5 Add 5 to both sides

5 = x - 5 + 5 Simplify

x = 5
