Pls help me I am very confused

Answer 1

Answer:

consecutive terms is constant. Hence, it is known as constant difference (d).

That means, the difference between the first and second term = difference between the second and third term..

Or we can consider the opposite. The difference will remain constant throughout.

Hence:-

➛ 2nd - 1st = 3rd - 2nd

➛ 2x + p - x = 3x + 6 - (2x + p)

➛ x + p = 3x + 6 - 2x - p

➛ x + p = x - p + 6

➛ x + p - x + p - 6 = 0

➛ 2p - 6 = 0

➛ 2p = 6

➛ p = 3(Ans)
