In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length. Therefore, we can set the lengths of the diagonals \( AO \) and \( BO \) equal to each other:

\[
AO = BO
\]

Given:
\[
AO = 4x - 3
\]
\[
BO = 5x - 10
\]

Setting these equal, we have:

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

To solve for \( x \), first isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( 4x \) from both sides:

\[
-3 = x - 10
\]

Next, add \( 10 \) to both sides:

\[
-3 + 10 = x
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
x = 7
\]

Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( \boxed{7} \).
