1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangle ABCD with diagonals intersecting. The diagonal segments are given as $5x - 6$ and $3x + 2$. We need to find the value of $x$.
2. **Recall the property of rectangle diagonals:** In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, the expressions for the diagonals must be equal.
3. **Set up the equation:**
$$5x - 6 = 3x + 2$$
4. **Solve for $x$:**
Subtract $3x$ from both sides:
$$5x - \cancel{3x} - 6 = \cancel{3x} + 2 - 3x$$
$$2x - 6 = 2$$
Add 6 to both sides:
$$2x - 6 + 6 = 2 + 6$$
$$2x = 8$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$\frac{2x}{\cancel{2}} = \frac{8}{\cancel{2}}$$
$$x = 4$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\boxed{4}$$
Rectangle Diagonal 6F0444
