Answer:

x= -9.17

Explanation:

To solve for x, we can use the information provided about the rectangle to set up an equation. Since opposite sides of a rectangle are congruent (have the same length), we know that MO = NP.

Therefore, we can set up the equation:

-6x + 10 = 65

To solve for x, we can subtract 10 from both sides:

-6x = 55

And then divide both sides by -6:

x = -9.17
