Solution is: x = 40 Explanation:- The LHS of the given equation is an AP, Let the total no.of terms upto 'x' are N, So now using the suitable formula for sum of AP; (N/2) = S Here, a = 1, d = 3, N = ?, S = 287 So, on putting all these values and solving, we get; N = 14 or N = -82/6 Accepting, N =...

Solution is:    x = 40

Explanation:-

The LHS of the given equation is an AP,

Let the total no.of terms upto 'x' are N,

So now using the suitable formula for sum of AP;

(N/2)[ 2a + (N-1)d ] = S

Here, a = 1, d = 3, N = ?, S = 287

So, on putting all these values and solving, we get;

N = 14 or N = -82/6

Accepting, N = 14 (being a natural number)

Further to solve the value of 'x' , using the formula for finding Nth term of an AP;

T = a + (N-1)d

Here, T= x, N = 14, 

Therefore, on solving, we get;

x = 40
