Answer: 19

==============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

T is the midpoint of PQ, which means T splits PQ into two equal parts. Those parts being PT and TQ.

Set them equal to each other and solve for x.

PT = TQ

3x+7 = 7x-9

3x-7x = -9-7

-4x = -16

x = -16/(-4)

x = 4

So,

PT = 3x+7 = 3*4+7 = 19

TQ = 7x-9 = 7*4-9 = 19

Both PT and TQ are 19 units long to help confirm the answer.
