a. D = 4J and D + 10 = 2J + 20
b. D = 4J and D + 10 = 2(4J + 10) + 20
c. D = 4J and D + 10 = 2(J + 10) + 20

Let's focus on the "In 10 years" part

in 10 years
D will be (D + 10)
and J will be (J + 10)

"twice Jim's age" would then be 2(J + 10)
and
"20 years more than" that would be 2(J + 10) + 20

so
the answer with
D + 10 = 2(J + 10) + 20
would be your answer
that is, C.
