Final answer:

The length of PQ is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that O'DAYST bisects PR at point Q, and that PR = 2n + 16 and PQ = 3n + 6, we can set the two expressions equal to each other:

2n + 16 = 3n + 6

Subtracting 2n from both sides and subtract 6 from both sides, we get:

10 = n

Now, we can substitute this value of n into the expression for PQ:

PQ = 3(10) + 6

Simplifying, we get:

PQ = 30 + 6 = 36
