Step-by-step solution
4 stepsUnderstand the property of an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.).
In an Arithmetic Progression, the difference between any two consecutive terms is constant. If , , and are consecutive terms of an A.P., then .
Apply the property to the given terms.
Given the consecutive terms are , , and .
Let , , and .
So, we can write the equation:Simplify both sides of the equation.
For the left side:
For the right side:
Now the equation is:
Solve the equation for .
Subtract from both sides:
Subtract 6 from both sides:
Divide by -5:
