Answer:

$x=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given measurements of the angles and the lengths of the sides, we can determine that this figure must be a rectangle.

Diagonals of a rectangle are always equivalent/congruent.

We can use this information to set up an equation:

$DF=EG\\7x-3=5x+9$

Add 3 to both sides:

$7x-3+3=5x+9+3\\7x=5x+12$

Subtract 5x from both sides:

$7x-5x=5x-5x+12\\2x=12$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}\\x=6$
