Answer:

For line j to be parallel to line k, then x has to be equal to 0

Explanation:

if line j is parallel to line k, then the two angles are equal.

They are equal because they would be alternate angles and alternate angles are equal in value

Thus,

3x + 10 = 5x + 10

5x-3x = 10-10

2x = 0

x = 0
