The correct Answer is:
To find the 15th term of the arithmetic progression (AP) given by the terms \(x - 7\), \(x - 2\), and \(x + 3\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and the common difference The first term \(A\) of the AP is: \[ A = x - 7 \] To find the common difference \(D\), we can subtract the first term from the second term: \[ D = (x - 2) - (x - 7) \] Simplifying this: \[ D = x - 2 - x + 7 = 5 \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for the nth term of an AP The formula for the nth term \(A_n\) of an AP is given by: \[ A_n = A + (n - 1) \cdot D \] We need to find the 15th term, so we set \(n = 15\): \[ A_{15} = A + (15 - 1) \cdot D \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting the values we found: \[ A_{15} = (x - 7) + (15 - 1) \cdot 5 \] This simplifies to: \[ A_{15} = (x - 7) + 14 \cdot 5 \] Calculating \(14 \cdot 5\): \[ 14 \cdot 5 = 70 \] So we have: \[ A_{15} = (x - 7) + 70 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression Now, simplifying the expression: \[ A_{15} = x - 7 + 70 = x + 63 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the 15th term of the AP is: \[ \boxed{x + 63} \]
