to further explain the above: they give u the fact that its arithmetic, a sequence is arithmetic if T3-T2=T2-T1, therefore use that to solve for x.

If geometric, T2/T1=T3/T2, same deal

flon, you did fuck all, all of a sudden your willing to help others with your unexplained answers, although the path to answering to Q was obvious, explain your answers.
