Question

if numbers x-2,4x-1 and 5x+2 are in AP then find the value of x

Answer 1

since they are in AP
(4x-1)-(x-2)=(5x+2)-(4x-1)
=> 4x-1-x+2=5x+2-4x+1
=>5x+1=x+3
=>4x=2
=> x=1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

as this is an AP

a3-a2=a2-a1

(4x-1)-(x-2)=(5x+2)-(4x-1)

4x-1-x+2=5x+2-4x+1

3x+1=x+3

2x=2

therefor 'x'=1

hope this answer helps you!
