In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other, which means that segments AO and BO are equal in length. Therefore, we can set the expressions for AO and BO equal to each other:

\[
4x - 3 = 5x - 10
\]

To solve for \(x\), first, subtract \(4x\) from both sides:

\[
-3 = x - 10
\]

Next, add 10 to both sides:

\[
7 = x
\]

So, the value of \(x\) is \(7\).

Thus, the correct response is:

**x = 7**.
