1. Problem Description

The problem states that ABCDABCD is an isosceles trapezoid. The length of diagonal ACAC is given by 3x73x - 7, and the length of diagonal BDBD is given by 2x+82x + 8. We need to find the value of xx.

2. Solution Steps

In an isosceles trapezoid, the diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, we must have AC=BDAC = BD.
So we set up the equation:
3x7=2x+83x - 7 = 2x + 8
Subtract 2x2x from both sides:
3x2x7=2x2x+83x - 2x - 7 = 2x - 2x + 8
x7=8x - 7 = 8
Add 7 to both sides:
x7+7=8+7x - 7 + 7 = 8 + 7
x=15x = 15

3. Final Answer

The value of xx is 15.
