We use use the segment addition postulate, which states we can add adjacent segments contained in a whole segment to find the total distance of the whole line segment. We have two adjacent segments that make up a whole segment, so we can add the expressions together.

PQ+QR=PR

Substitute the values into the equation above:

(3x-2)+(5x+6)=PR

Combine like terms using the Associative Property of Addition:

(3x+5x)+(6-2)=PR

Simplify:

8x+4=PR

We can factor out a GCF of 4:

4(2x+1)=PR

So, the answer is 4(2x+1)
