Question

8,X,20 are in arithmetic progression,find the value of "x".​

Answer 1

x = 14

Explanation:

Since the terns form an arithmetic progression then they have a common difference d , that is

a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂

x - 8 = 20 - x ( add x to both sides )

2x - 8 = 20 ( add 8 to both sides )

2x = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 14
