So I was finishing up homework when yet another problem had me crying. After hours of trying to do it on my own, I decided to ask for help. Okay, so If 5x+2, 2x^2 + 8, 24x - x^2 form an arithmetic sequence, find x and the 12th term. I'm stumped trying to solve this. I literally have no idea. I tried subtracting the first term from the second to get the common difference, but hey, when I tried subtracting the third term from the second one, the \"common\" differences were not so common. Maybe the given is wrong? I don't know... </SPAN>\n" );
