3 In the diagram, \(PQR\) and \(PST\) are straight lines.
\(QS\) and \(RT\) are parallel lines.
Angle \(QRT = 70^\circ\).
Angle \(QST = 120^\circ\).

Triangle PRT with Q on PR and S on PT; QS parallel to RT; angle x at P, angle QRT = 70 degrees, angle QST = 120 degrees

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

(a) Work out the value of \(x\). (3)
(b) Give a reason for each step in your working. (2)
