Question

If 2x, x + 10, 3x + 2 are in AP find the value of x.​

Answer 1

Given 2x,x+10,3x+2 are three consecutive terms in A.P

_______________________

We know that,

Difference of any two consecutive terms in A.P are equal.

_______________________

(x+10)-2x = (3x+2)-(x+10)

=> x+10-2x = 3x+2-x-10

=> 10-x=2x-8

=> -x-2x = -8-10

=> -3x = -18

Divide each term by (-3) , we. get

Therefore,

x = 6
