Answer:


\boxed{\sf{x=8}}

Explanation:

These two bisected angles must be equal for the parallelogram to be a rhombus.

11x-76=7x-44

Isolate the term of x, from one side of the equation.

First you add by 76 from both sides.


\sf{11x-76+76=7x-44+76}}

Solve.


\sf{11x=7x+32}

Next, subtract by 7x from both sides.


\sf{11x-7x=7x+32-7x}

Solve.


\sf{4x=32}

Then, you divide by 4 from both sides.


\sf{(4x)/(4)=(32)/(4)}

Solve.

Divide these numbers from left to right.

32/4=8


\rightarrow \boxed{\sf{x=8}}

In order for the parallelogram to be a rhombus, x=8.

Therefore, the final answer is x=8.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
