Answer: x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

P-----------------------T----------------------Q

         (3x-3)                   (5x-7)

Since T is the midpoint we know that PT and TQ are equal

Just solve the equation: 3x-3 = 5x-7

[tex]3x-3 = 5x-7[/tex]

now move the x to one side

[tex]-3 = 2x-7[/tex] (I subtracted the 3x)

then get the 2x by itself

[tex]4=2x[/tex]

lastly, divide by 2 to get x by itself

[tex]x=2\\[/tex]
