Find MP
MN=17
NP=3y
MP=5y+9
how are the three points related?
If P lies on MN, then
MP+PN=MN
5y+9 + 3y = 17
y = 1
So, MP=14
To find the value of MP, we need to substitute the given values into the equation MP = 5y + 9. Let's start by substituting the value of NP.
Given: NP = 3y
Substituting NP in place of MP, we get:
MP = 5y + 9
MP = 5(3y) + 9 [Substituted NP = 3y]
MP = 15y + 9
Hence, the value of MP is 15y + 9.
