I don't have the diagram — could you upload it or say exactly where O is (intersection of the diagonals, a point on side AD, etc.)?

Common interpretations and how to solve them:

1) If O is the intersection of the diagonals (the rectangle's center), then AO and OD are equal (each is half a diagonal). So 9z − 1 = 6x + 17. If x and z are intended to be the same variable (a common typo), set x = z:
9z − 1 = 6z + 17 → 3z = 18 → z = 6.
Then AO = 9(6) − 1 = 53, and AC = 2·AO = 106.

2) If O is a point on side AD so that AO + OD = AD, you need the length of AB (or AD) or another relation to find AC; with only AO and OD given there isn't enough information.

If you can confirm the position of O or whether x and z are the same, I’ll finish the solution.
