document.write( "Let x be the middle term of this sequence of 5 terms.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the sequence is x-2, x-1, x, x+1, x+2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The sum of the terms is (x-2) + (x-1) + x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 5x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus 5x = 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives x = 0.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the sequence is  -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.\r\n" );
