Answer:

x = 6

PM = 50

MQ = 50

PQ = 100

Explanation:

The two halves of the segment are the same length:

PM = MQ

7x +8 = 5x +20

2x = 12 . . . . . . . . . subtract 5x+8

x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

PM = 7(6)+8 = 42+8

PM = 50

MQ = 5(6) +20 = 30+20

MQ = 50

PQ = PM +MQ = 50 +50

PQ = 100
