The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( x \) given that \( OR = 2x + 3 \) and \( OT = 3x + 2 \) in rectangle RENT where the diagonals meet at point O. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the properties of a rectangle**: In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other. This means that the lengths of the segments from the intersection point O to the vertices of the rectangle are equal. 2. **Set up the equation**: Since \( OR \) and \( OT \) are segments of the diagonals that bisect each other, we can set them equal to each other: \[ OR = OT \] 3. **Substitute the expressions for \( OR \) and \( OT \)**: \[ 2x + 3 = 3x + 2 \] 4. **Rearrange the equation**: To solve for \( x \), we first move all terms involving \( x \) to one side and constant terms to the other side: \[ 2x + 3 - 2 = 3x \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 1 = 3x \] 5. **Isolate \( x \)**: Now, subtract \( 2x \) from both sides: \[ 1 = 3x - 2x \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 = x \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( x \) is: \[ x = 1 \]
