Question
If $\frac{4}{5},\text{a},2$ are in AP, find the value of a.
✓

Answer

If $\frac{4}{5},\text{a}$ and 2 are three consecutive terms of an AP, then we have:
$\text{a}-\frac{4}{5}=2-\text{a}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{a}=2+\frac{4}{5}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{a}=\frac{14}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{7}{5}$
