5 0

notice that, if Q is the midpoint of PR, that simply means that PQ = QR = 43.


\bf \boxed{P}\underset{\leftarrow 9x-31 \to }{\stackrel{\stackrel{\downarrow }{43}}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}Q\stackrel{43}{\rule[0.35em]{10em}{0.25pt}}}\boxed{R}
\\\\\\
9x-31=43+43\implies 9x-31=86\implies 9x=117
\\\\\\
x=\cfrac{117}{9}\implies x=13
