This is a line with a midpoint.
The midpoint is exactly at the middle of the line, so both sides are equal.

9x - 5 = 31
+5
9x = 36
/9
x = 6

Answer = x = 6

Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

A segment midpoint is a point on a line segment that divides the segment into two congruent segments.

Therefore, if C is the midpoint of AQ, then:

⇒ AC = CQ

⇒ 9x - 5 = 31

⇒ 9x - 5 + 5 = 31 + 5

⇒ 9x = 36

⇒ 9x ÷ 9 = 36 ÷ 9

⇒ x = 4
