Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Since it is AP, the common difference is same for any term:</u>

  • (4x - 2) - (x + 1) = (6x - 3) - (4x - 2)
  • 3x - 3 = 2x -1
  • 3x - 2x = 3 - 1
  • x= 2

<u>The first 3 terms are:</u>

  • 3, 6, 9

<u>Since the last term is 18, it means this AP has 6 terms:</u>

  • {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18}

<u>Answer: </u>as we need to find the value of x only, it is = 2

Find the value of x and y in the following figure where ABCD is a parallelogram<br><br>​
asambeis [7]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other into two equal segments. Therefore:

3x - 1 = 2(x + 1)

Solve for x

3x - 1 = 2x + 2

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 1 + 2

x = 3

Also:

5y + 1 = 6y - 1

Collect like terms

5y - 6y = -1 - 1

-y = -2

Divide both sides by -1

y = -2/-1

y = 2
