Solve for X. 3X=2X+4
X=4
So each side = 12

we know that

In a Rhombus all sides are congruent

so


MJ=JK=KL=ML

we have


MJ=3x\ units\\JK=(2x+4)\ units

equate MJ and JK


3x=2x+4

Solve for x


3x-2x=4


x=4\ units

Find the length side of the rhombus


MJ=3x


MJ=3*4=12\ units

therefore

the answer is

The length side of the rhombus is
12\ units
