Answer:

43 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data, QR = 6x + 1, PR = 14x – 13, and  PQ = 5x - 2, it can be inferred that PQ+QR = PR

Substitute the given functions

5x - 2+6x + 1 =  14x – 13

collect like terms

5x+6x-2+1 =  14x – 13

11x-1 =  14x – 13

11x-14x = -13+1

-3x = -12

Divide both sides by -3

-3x/-3 = -12/-3

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 into PR = 14x – 13;

PR =  14(4) – 13

PR = 56-13

PR = 43

Hence the length of PR is 43 units
