Since you know that PQ=RQ, you have an equilateral triangle. This makes things very simple.
Angle R should be the same as angle P.
A triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
Add angles P and R. Subtract 180 from the answer you got. That will give you 2a. a divided by 2 will give you a.
Or, since there are two right triangles, you can add 47 and 90. Subtract 180 from that and you will get a.

This question is referred to two similar triangles.
One triangle has sides x and x - 2.
The other triangle has the respective sides x + x + 5 and x - 2 + x + 1
Then you can state a proportionality relation between the sides>
[x + x + 5] / x = [x - 2 + x + 1] / [x - 2]
=> [2x + 5] / x = [2x - 1] / [x - 2]
=> (2x + 5)(x - 2) = (2x - 1)x
=> 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 2x^2 - x
=> x - 10 = - x
=> 2x = 10
=> x = 10 / 2
=> x = 5
Answer: x = 5
