in general an = a1 + (n-1)d
d = (18-x)-(x+2) = (14+x)-(18-x)
d = 16 -2x = -4 +2x
so
4 x = 20 and x = 5
then d = -4 + 2x = 6
so
an = a1 + (n-1)6
if the first term is x+2 = 7
then the sequence is
an = 7+(n-1)6
d = (18-x)-(x+2) = (14+x)-(18-x)
d = 16 -2x = -4 +2x
so
4 x = 20 and x = 5
then d = -4 + 2x = 6
so
an = a1 + (n-1)6
if the first term is x+2 = 7
then the sequence is
an = 7+(n-1)6
