Answer:

x = 10°

Explanation:

The diagonals of a rhombus divide the figure into congruent right triangles. That means the two marked acute angles are complementary.

__

solve for x

Complementary angles total 90°, so the relation we can use to find x is ...

(3x -13) +(8x -7) = 90

11x = 110 . . . . . . . . . add 20

x = 10 . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The value of x is 10°.
