Given:

Point O is on line segment NP.

OP=10, NP=2x, and NO=x+7.

To find:

The numerical length of NO.

Solution:

If point O is on line segment NP, then by segment addition property, we get


NP=NO+OP


2x=(x+7)+10


2x=x+17

Subtract both sides by x.


2x-x=17


x=17

The value of x is 17.

Now,


NO=x+7


NO=17+7


NO=24

Therefore, the numerical length of NO is 24units.
