Answer:

[tex]OP = 11[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

OP = 4x - 5

NP = 3x + 4

NO = 2x - 3

Required

Determine the value of OP

Since O lines n the segment, them

[tex]NP = NO+ OP\\[/tex]

[tex]3x + 4 = 2x - 3 + 4x - 5[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]3x - 2x - 4x = -3 -5 - 4[/tex]

[tex]-3x=-12[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{-12}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

Substitute  4 for x in  OP = 4x - 5

[tex]OP = 4 * 4 - 5[/tex]

[tex]OP = 16 - 5[/tex]

[tex]OP = 11[/tex]
