Answer:

C.) x = 3

Explanation:

The diagonals of a rectangle are equal, and QM and PM are both half of the two diagonals. You can now say that 2 * (6x - 8) = 2 * (2x + 4), meaning that 12x - 16 = 4x + 8, where you can add 16 on both sides, then subtract by 4x on both sides to get that 8x = 24. Now divide by 8 on both sides to get that x = 3.
