Question

if 3x , x+2 and 8 are the consicutive integers in ap then fimd the fourth term​

Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

t3 =8

t2= X+2

t1= 3x

t3-t2 = t2-t1

8-(x+2) =X+2-3x

8-x-2 = -2x +2

6-x= -2x +2

2x-x= 2-6

X= -4

t3 =8

t2= X+2=-4+2=-2

t1= 3x=3*-4=-12

required series -12, -2, 8.....

common difference is 10

so next term is = 4 th term =8+10=18
