Answer:

PQ = 1 ft

QR = 4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Segment PR has been divided into two parts by a point Q.

Length of segment PR = 5 feet

Length of segment PQ = (15x - 2) ft

Length of segment QR = (5x + 3) ft

Since, PR = PQ + QR

5 = (15x - 2) + (5x + 3)

5 = 20x + 1

20x = 4

x = [tex]\frac{4}{20}[/tex]

x = 0.2

PQ = 15x - 2

     = 15(0.2) - 2

     = 3 - 2

     = 1 ft

QR = 5x + 3

     = 5(0.2) + 3

     = 1 + 3

     = 4 ft
