Answer:

<h3>             5</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

z -  any integer

2z+1 - any odd integer (the smaller one)

2z+1+2 = 2z+3 - odd integer consecutive to 2z+1  (the larger one)

2(2z+1)    - twice the smaller number

2(2z+1) - 1    - one less than twice the smaller number

2(2z+1) - 1 = 2z + 3

4z + 2 - 1 = 2z + 3

2z = 2

 z = 1

2z+3 = 2•1+3 = 5

check:

2z+1 = 2•1+1 = 3,  

2(2z+1)-1 = 2(2•1+1)-1 = 2•3-1 = 5 = 2z+3

Help!! Please I’m stuck give [10pts]
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the exterior angle theorem, which means the measure of an exterior angle is the sum of its remote interior angles. In this case, this would mean:

x + 72 = 5x

Since this gives us an equation, we can just solve for x:

x + 72 = 5x

72 = 4x

x = 18
