Answer:   [tex]PQ=16\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing figure is attached.

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

[tex]P=2l+2w[/tex]

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

You can identify in the figure that:

[tex]w=SR=PQ=2z+2\\\\l=QR=PS=3z+1[/tex]

Then, knowing the perimeter of the rectangle, you can make the subsitution into the formula:

 [tex]76=2(3z+1)+2(2z+2)[/tex]

Now you must simplify and solve for "z"

[tex]76=6z+2+4z+4\\\\76-6=10z\\\\70=10z\\\\\frac{70}{10}=z\\\\z=7[/tex]

Finally, substituting the value of "z" into  [tex]PQ=2z+2[/tex], you get:

 [tex]PQ=2(7)+2=16\ units[/tex]
