Answer:

A) 42°

Explanation:

The whole is the sum of the parts. Lines AH and BC cross at right angles, so angle CDE is a right angle. Then angles CDJ and JDE will have a total of 90°.

∠CDJ +∠EDJ = 90°

3x° +(2x +10)° = 90°

5x = 80 . . . . . . . . . divide by °, collect terms, subtract 10

x = 16 . . . . . . . . divide by 5

(2x+10)° = (2(16) +10)° = 42°

Angle EDJ is 42°.
