Answer:
- x, x+5,x+15 are in gp progression
- that there common ratio is equal
- common ratio =r= a2/a1= a3/a2
- a1 = x
- a2 = x+5
- a3=x+15
- x+5/x=x+15/x+5
- cross multiplication
- x+5(x+5)=x(x+15)
- x2+10x+25=x2+15x
- x2+10x+25-x2=15x
- 10x+25=15x
- 15x=25+10x
- 15x-10x=25
- 5x=25
- x=25/5
- x=5
