Problema Solution
N is a point on MP such that NP is four more than three times MN. If MP = 44, find NP.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let MN be of length x.
Therefore, NP = 4+3*x
Since, MP = MN+NP
→ MP = x+4+3*x
→ 44 = x+4+3*xSince MP=44
→ 44 = 4+4*x
→ 4*x = 44-4
→ 4*x = 40
→ x = 10.
Therefore, NP = 4+3*x
→ NP = 4+3*10 = 34.
