x will equal 25 that should give you a hint

Two angles are called supplementary angles if the sum of two angles is 180 degrees and they form a linear pair.

Here we are given than angle P and angle Q are supplementary angles.

Sum of angle P and angle Q will be 180.

Angle P measures 5x and angle Q measures 3x – 12

Adding the two angles,

[tex]5x+(3x-12) =180[/tex]

[tex]8x-12=180[/tex]

[tex]8x=180+12[/tex]

[tex]8x=192[/tex]

x=24

Angle P = 5x

Angle P =5*24 =120

Answer: Angle P is 120 degrees.
