Since point Q is the midpoint of GH, that means that GH-GQ=HQ=GQ (since Q is the midpoint). Plugging them in, we get 5x-5-(2x+3)=3x-8=GQ=HQ. Since Q is the midpoint, that means that 3x-8=2x+3=GQ=HQ. Subtracting 2x from both sides as well as adding 8, we get that x=11 and 2(11)+3=25=GQ by plugging x into 2x+3
