1. Problem Description

We are given a triangle ABCABC and a point SS which is the circumcenter. CP=7x1CP = 7x - 1 and PB=6x+3PB = 6x + 3. We need to find the value of xx and the length of CPCP.

2. Solution Steps

Since SS is the circumcenter of triangle ABCABC, the point PP must be the midpoint of the side CBCB.
Therefore, CP=PBCP = PB.
We are given CP=7x1CP = 7x - 1 and PB=6x+3PB = 6x + 3.
So, we can set up the equation:
7x1=6x+37x - 1 = 6x + 3
Subtracting 6x6x from both sides, we get:
7x6x1=6x6x+37x - 6x - 1 = 6x - 6x + 3
x1=3x - 1 = 3
Adding 11 to both sides, we get:
x1+1=3+1x - 1 + 1 = 3 + 1
x=4x = 4
Now, we can find the length of CPCP by substituting x=4x = 4 into the expression for CPCP:
CP=7x1CP = 7x - 1
CP=7(4)1CP = 7(4) - 1
CP=281CP = 28 - 1
CP=27CP = 27

3. Final Answer

x=4x = 4
CP=27CP = 27
