Answer:


PQ=31\ units

Explanation:

we know that

In this problem Q is the midpoint of PR

so


PQ=QR

we have


PQ=2x+1 -----> equation A


QR=5x-44 -----> equation B

equate equation A and equation B


2x+1=5x-44

solve for x


5x-2x=1+44


3x=45


x=15

Find the value of PQ


PQ=2x+1 ------>
PQ=2(15)+1=31\ units
