Use the diagram below to find the value of x
{NO} =17
{NP} =5x-6

Answer : The value of 'x' is 8.

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that :

NO = 17

NP = 5x - 6

From the given diagram we conclude that NO and OP are equal and RO and OQ are equal. That means,

NO = OP and RO = OQ

That means,

NO = OP = 17

And we know that:

NP = NO + OP

So,

5x - 6 = 17 + 17

5x - 6 = 34

5x = 34 + 6

5x = 40

x = 8

Thus, the value of 'x' is 8.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
