Answer:

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

We know:

1. Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular.

2. Diagonals divide the rhombus on four congruent right triangles.

3. The sum of measures of acute angles in a right triangle is equal 90°.

Therefore we have the equation:

(2x + 3) + (3x + 2) = 90           combine like terms

(2x + 3x) + (3 + 2) = 90

5x + 5 = 90               subtract 5 from both sides

5x = 85             divide both sides by 5

x = 17
