Answer:

MP = 29

Explanation:

From the diagram

MP = MN + NP ( substitute values )

5y + 9 = 17 + 3y ( subtract 3y from both sides )

5y - 3y + 9 = 17 + 3y - 3y ( simplify )

2y + 9 = 17 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

2y + 9 - 9 = 17 - 9 , that is

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4

Then

MP = 5y + 9 = 5(4) + 9 = 20 + 9 = 29
