Answer: x=3

Explanation:

One of the properties of diagonals of a rectangle is that they bisect each other, meaning that four segments are equal.

For example, in this question, according to the property, AE, CE, DE, BE will be equal.

Solve:

AE=CE

AE+CE=AC

CE+CE=AC

DB=AC

DB=2CE

(18)=2(4x-3)

18=8x-6

18+6=8x-6+6

24=8x

24/8=8x/8

x=3

Hope this helps!! :)
