    The common difference of an A.P. is constant, therefore, we can take the difference of consecutive terms and equate the values to determine x:
2x-8 = 8 - (5-x) =>
2x - x = 8-5+8 =>
x = 11
or
common difference
=2x-8
= 14
    
2x-8 = 8 - (5-x) =>
2x - x = 8-5+8 =>
x = 11
or
common difference
=2x-8
= 14
