Answer: The value of 20th term is 150.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

x+5,2x,4x-17

Since they are in AP.

So, we know that

2b=a+c\\\\2(2x)=x+5+4x-17\\\\4x=5x-12\\\\4x-5x=-12\\\\-x=-12\\\\x=12

So, the first term would be :

x+5=12+5=17=a

common difference would be :

2x-(x+5)\\\\=2x-x-5\\\\=x-5\\\\=12-5\\\\=7

So, the value of 20th term would be :

a_{20}=a+19d=17+19\times 7=17+133=150

Hence, the value of 20th term is 150.
