Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+1)=x+5

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.

2x+2=x+5

Subtract x from both sides.

2x+2−x=5

Combine 2x and −x to get x.

x+2=5

Subtract 2 from both sides.

x=5−2

Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.

x=3

Write the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence.

JulijaS [17]

The next three terms are: 1/6 , 0 and -1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

$\frac{5}{6} , \frac{2}{3} ,\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3} ...$

First of all, we have to find the common difference

$here\\a_1 = \frac{5}{6}\\a_2 = \frac{2}{3}\\a_3 = \frac{1}{2}\\a_4 = \frac{1}{3}\\d = a_2-a_1 = \frac{2}{3} -\frac{5}{6} = \frac{4-5}{6} = -\frac{1}{6}\\d = a_3 - a_2 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3-4}{6} = =\frac{1}{6}$

The common difference is -1/6

We can simply add -1/6 to the previous term to find the next terms so,

Adding -1/6 to 1/3

$\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2-1}{6} = \frac{1}{6}\\\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = 0\\0-\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{1}{6}$

Hence,

The next three terms are: 1/6 , 0 and -1/6

True or false: a pair of straight angles can also be adjacent angles

IrinaK [193]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions. the statement "a pair of straight angles can also be adjacent angles" is true

There are some special relationships between "pairs" of angles. Adjacent Angles are two angles that share a common vertex, a common side, and no common interior points. (They share a vertex and side, but do not overlap.) A Linear Pair is two adjacent angleswhose non-common sides form opposite rays.
