Hi Folks,
Came across this question which I can't work out and keep coming up with wrong answer:
Three terms of a linear sequence-you have to find the missing middle term:
2/x+3, (missing term), 2/2x-3
So I tried it like this: I thought if I take the first term away from the third I get 2x the difference then half that and add it on to the first term to get the middle one - but I think there must be a better way that I can't think of as I kept getting the wrong answer using that method.
Any help appreciated as always.
