Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be added to the the numbers.
Thus, 10 + x / 14 + x = 14 + x / 19 + x
⇒ (10 + x)(19 + x) = (14 + x)²
⇒ 190 + 29x + x² = 196 + 28x + x²
⇒ x² - x² + 29x - 28x = 196 - 190
⇒ x = 6
Hence, 6 should be added so that the resulting numbers are continued in proportion.
