Given that,
If 4x, x+20, 5x-9 are in an AP find the value if x.
Let,
- a1 = 4x
- a2 = x + 20
- a3 = 5x - 9
We know that, the common difference of an AP terms are equal. So,
↪ a2 - a1 = a3 - a2
➡ (x + 20) - (4x) = (5x - 9) - (x + 20)
➡ x + 20 - 4x = 5x - 9 - x - 20
➡ 20 - 3x = 4x - 29
➡ 20 + 29 = 4x + 3x
➡ 7x = 49
➡ x = 49/7
➡ x = 7
