First, if AB = AD = BD, then ABD is an EQUILATERAL triangle, which means all angles are
60 degrees

Next, since angles on a straight line must add to 180°, we know that angle BDC =
120 degrees

Finally, if BD = DC, then triangle BDC is ISOSCELES, which means angle DBC =
x degrees

Since angles in a triangle must add to 180 degrees, we can write: x + x + 120 = 180
Simplify: 2x + 120 = 180
Solve: x = 30
Answer: A
