Answer: x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: QRST is a rectangle.

We know that in a rectangle, diagonals are congruent or equal.

Therefore, if QRST is a rectangle.

Then RT=SQ  [diagonals of given rectangle]

Now substitute, [tex]RT=5x-5[/tex] and [tex]SQ = x + 11[/tex], then we have

[tex]5x-5=x+11\\\\\Rightarrow5x-x=11+5\\\\\Rightarrow4x=16\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=4[/tex]

Hence, the value of x = 4.
