Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Triangle L N P has centroid S.

NS=7x-3, SR=5x-3

To find: NS

Solution:

Centroid is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle such that it divides each of the median in ratio 2:1

So,

NS:SR=2:1\\\frac{NS}{SR}=\frac{2}{1}  \\

Put NS=7x-3, SR=5x-3

\frac{7x-3}{5x-3}=\frac{2}{1}\\  7x-3=10x-6\\10x-7x=-3+6\\3x=3\\x=1

Therefore,

NS=7x-3=7(1)-3=4\,\,units\\SR=5x-3=5(1)-3=2\,units

So,

NS=NS+SR=4+2=6\,\,units

(x+2)(4+y)(5+6)(2+x)(4+0.5x)

combine like terms

(x+2) (4+y) (11) (x+2) (4+.5x)

11(x+2)^2 (4+y)(4+.5x)

distribute

11(x^2 +4x+2) (16+4y+2x+.5xy)

(11x^2+44x+22)(16+4y+2x+.5xy)

5.5 x^3 y + 22 x^3 + 66 x^2 y + 264 x^2 + 198 x y + 792 x + 176 y + 704
