N ----- P ----- Q (P is in the midpoint of NQ)
Distance between O – P = 11
Distance between O ------ Q = 35
Find the distance from N ----- O

Now, let’s start solving the problem :
N ---- O ---- P ---- Q

Remember the P is the midpoint of N and Q, thus the distance of N and Q from P is the same.
First, let’s get the distance of P and Q
=> PQ = OQ - OP
=> PQ = 35 – 11
=> PQ = 24 (the distance between P and Q is 24)
Now, let’s get the distance of N and O
=> NO = PQ – OQ
=> NO = 24 – 11
=> NO = 13 (the distance of N to O)
