we know that

If Q is the midpoint of the line segment PR

then

[tex]PQ=QR[/tex]

[tex]PR=PQ+QR[/tex]

Step [tex]1[/tex]

Find the value of x

in this problem we have

[tex]PQ=6x+25\\ QR=16-3x[/tex]

substitute in the formula above

[tex]6x+25=16-3x[/tex]

[tex]6x+25=16-3x\\ 6x+3x=16-25\\9x=-9\\x=-1[/tex]

so

[tex]PQ=6x+25=6*(-1)+25=19\ units[/tex]

[tex]QR=16-3*(-1)=19\ units[/tex]

Step [tex]2[/tex]

Find the value of PR

[tex]PR=PQ+QR[/tex]

[tex]PR=19+19=38\ units[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the value of PR is [tex]38\ units[/tex]
