For this case we observe that we have a problem of similarity of triangles.
We can then use the following relationship to solve the problem:

(650+x)/(800+1200) = (650)/(800)
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

650+x = (650)/(800)(800+1200)
Rewriting we have:

650+x = (650)/(800)(2000)

650+x = 1625

x = 1625 - 650

x = 975 feet
Answer:
the distance from P to Q on Road C is:

x = 975 feet
