Answer:

x = 19.25

Explanation:

Each half of the rhombus is an isosceles triangle. The two "base" angles are the same measure, and the sum of all angles is 180°:

(2x -1)° +(2x -1)° +(4x+28)° = 180°

8x = 154 . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms, subtract 26

x = 154/8

x = 19.25

__

Check

The angle measures are ...

(2x -1)° = (2(19.25) -1)° = 37.5°

(4x +28)° = (4(19.25) +28)° = 105°

Then the angle sum is 37.5 +37.5 +105 = 180, as it should be.
