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

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

[tex]2x=(x+7)+10[/tex]

[tex]2x=x+17[/tex]

Subtract both sides by x.

[tex]2x-x=17[/tex]

[tex]x=17[/tex]

The value of x is 17.

Now,

[tex]NO=x+7[/tex]

[tex]NO=17+7[/tex]

[tex]NO=24[/tex]

Therefore, the numerical length of NO is 24units.
