Answer:

PQ = 14 MQ = 7 PM = 7

Explanation:

PQ= PM + MQ = PMQ

If M is the MIDpoint it dissects PQ in half so that means PM = MQ

PQ= 5x-3+11-2x

PQ = 3x + 8

5x - 3 = 11 -2x

+2x +2x

7x - 3 = 11

+3 +3

7x = 14

7x / 7 = 14/7

x = 2

Plug in 2 for X

PQ = 3x + 8 = 3 x 2 +8 = 6 + 8 = 14

PM = 5x -3 + 5 x 2 - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7

MQ = 11 - 2x = 11 - 2 x 2 = 11 - 4 = 7
