1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

For the arithmetic sequence (2 - x),
(-6 + 2x), (x + 2), solve for x and find t10.

2. Relevant equations

an = a1 + (n - 1) d

3. The attempt at a solution

Would I have to start off like this below:::

an = a1 + (n - 1) d

d = (-6 + 2x)-(2 - x) = (x + 2)-(-6 + 2x)
