Should do, don't forget you'll need an inline barrel adjuster.

Thanks man. Why will I need the adjuster? Because the mech doesn’t have one?

Yeah, because the mech doesn't have one.

Great thanks, I wouldn’t have thought of that until mid install!

X7 definitely has the same ratio as Rival 10 and will work. Can’t say for sure about the X9 because I think the cable pull length might be different. I think there was a reason I got X7 for mine and not X9. Hold off buying until there are a couple more replies to confirm. The Art’s Cyclery chart used to have this info on it, but for some reason they took it down.
Edit: good news, it’s back up: http://blog.artscyclery.com/science-behind-the-magic/science-behind-the-magic-drivetrain-compatibility/

I use a Red 10s shifter and a X9 rear mech. Works fine.

I used the same combination for a while, but there's something about the geometry of the Sram mtb mechs that doesn't play well with road-size cassettes(12-28 & 12-30, in my case), particularly in the larger sprockets. Even with the B-screw all the way out I could never get the top jockey wheel anywhere close to the cassette.
I’ve got some well used 10 speed rival shifters and rear mech. The mech is slowly dying but the levers are fine so assuming 1:1 actuation is the only thing to consider will this mech work with my shifters? Should work fine on a 11-36 cassette too right? Much cheaper than a rival mech and cleaner than a lot of used ones that I could buy!
