Answer:

  -3

Step-by-step explanation:

If these numbers are part of an arithmetic progression, their differences are the same:

  (x -7) -(2x +1) = (2x +1) -(x +3)

  -x -8 = x -2

  -6 = 2x

  -3 = x

___

The numbers in the sequence are 0, -5, -10.

Answer:

x = -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is an Arithmetic Progression the differences between successive terms are common, so:

2x + 1 - (x + 3) = x - 7 - (2x + 1)

2x - x + 1 - 3 = x - 2x - 7 - 1

x - 2 = -x - 8

2x = -8 + 2 = -6

x = -3.
