P, Q and R are three points on level ground. Given that the bearing of R from P is 35 degrees and that angle PQR = 55 degrees and angle PRQ = 48 degrees. Find the bearing of P from Q.

Can someone please help me draw the diagram. I'm not very good in this. Thanks.
 
I need to revisit a couple of your earlier posts because I didn't interpret the meaning of "bearing of A from B" correctly.

If my bearings match now, the diagram below is correct. Theta is the requested angle (i.e., the bearing of P from Q).

Hint: I added point S, to form a right-triangle, because theta is 270º plus the measure of angle SQP.
