Question

for what value of p (2p+1), 13, (5p-3) are three consecutive terms of an ap. also find the common difference.

Answer 1

Answer:

p=4

Step-by-step explanation:

second term - first term =common difference

13-(2p+1)=(5p-3)-13

13-2p-1=5p-3-13

12-2p=5p-16

12+16=7p

p=28/7

p=4

AP=2*4+1=9

second term=13

third term=5*4-3=17
