a(1)=18
a(5)=18+4d=-10
4d=-28
d=-7
The missing means are
18-7=11
11-7=4
4-7=-3

Find the difference between the two numbers and divide by 4 (which is 1 more than 3):
This is the common dfference between consecutive terms. Now, start with 18 and add -7 consecutively (that is subtract 7)
Start with 18
18-7= 11
11-7=4
4-7=-3
-3-7=-10
Therefore the three arithmetic means between 18 and - 10 would be 11, 4, and -3.
