Parallel lines ABC and PQR crossed by the straight line AQD; angle BAQ = 35 degrees, angle BQA = 90 degrees and angle x at Q

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

\(ABC\), \(PQR\) and \(AQD\) are straight lines.
\(ABC\) is parallel to \(PQR\).

Angle \(BAQ = 35^\circ\)
Angle \(BQA = 90^\circ\)

Work out the size of the angle marked \(x\).
Give reasons for each stage of your working. (4)
