ANSWER:

x = 4

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

See attachment for complete question

From the attachment, the parallelogram has two diagonals. And the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect one another.

Because 2x - 1 and 7 are opposite sides of a diagonal; We can say that:

2x - 1= 72x−1=7

Add 1 to both sides

2x - 1 + 1 = 7 + 12x−1+1=7+1

2x = 82x=8

Divide through by 2

x =4
