If the given series it's an arithmetical progression, that
means that each term, beginning from the second one, is the sum between previous term
and a constant amount, called common difference.
We can
find the ratio in this
way:
19=13+d
19-13=d
d=6
Based
on this rule, we can write the term 6x+2 =
1+d
6x+2=1+6
6x = 7 -
2
x = 5/6
Another way of
solving the problem would be to consider the
term
(6x+2)=(1+13)/2.
6x+2=7
6x=7-2
6x=5
x=5/6
Both
ways, we've get the same value for the variable x, namely x =
5/6.
