Answer : The value of 'x' is 8.
Step-by-step explanation :
As we are given that :
NO = 17
NP = 5x - 6
From the given diagram we conclude that NO and OP are equal and RO and OQ are equal. That means,
NO = OP and RO = OQ
That means,
NO = OP = 17
And we know that:
NP = NO + OP
So,
5x - 6 = 17 + 17
5x - 6 = 34
5x = 34 + 6
5x = 40
x = 8
Thus, the value of 'x' is 8.
