Answer:

MQ and QP are equal, MO and OP are equal, x=2

Explanation:

QO is a perpendicular bisector of MP meaning that Triangle MQP must be isosceles (if at least two of the following, angle bisector, median, or an altitude, coincide in a triangle, that triangle must be isosceles). In this case an altitude and median coincide in triangle MQP. This means that MQ=QP as the triangle is isosceles. And also MO=OP because QO is a median. Now solving for x, 11=4x+3, 8=4x, x=2. Hope this helps!
