Somebody, please help me!! I will mark the brainiest

65 = <JKL

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two expressions that represent the same thing.

The diagram shows that <JKL = 45 + x

The question states that JKL = 3x + 5

The two expressions must be equal since they represent the same thing.

3x + 5 = x + 45

Subtract 5 from both sides

3x + 5 -  5 = x + 45 - 5

3x = x + 40                     Subtract x from both sides

3x - x = x - x + 40

2x = 40                          Divide by 2

2x/2 = 40/2

x = 20

So x + 45 = 20 + 45 = 65

or

3x + 5 = 3*20 + 5 = 60 + 5 = 65

step-by-step explanation:

we can analyze the pattern at which the terms increase. let us denote , , , so that we can call

note the following:

the pattern: to get the next term value, we just add the next term number (e.g. 1st, 2nd, to the previous term value (term values are the given numbers in the question, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15,

from , to get to , we add

from , to get to , we add

etc.

we need to form a recursive formula, a formula that has the next term as a function of the previous term. so a possible recursive formula can be

, and for

the answer would be 0.54
