    Value of x = 3 in the given AP sequence.

    Fourth term in the sequence is 19.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Here, the given sequence is x+4, 2x+5, and 4x+3

    So, the First term a = x + 4

    Second Term b = 2x + 5

    Third Term = 4x + 3

    Now, as the given sequence is in AP.

    ⇒ b-a = c - b = Common Difference

    ⇒ (2x+5) - (x+4) = (4x+3) - (2x+5)

    or, 2x + 5 - x - 4 = 4x + 3 - 2x - 5

    or, x + 1 = 2x - 2

    or, - x = - 3, or x = 3

    So, the value of x = 3 in the given AP sequence.

    ⇒ First term = 3 + 4 = 7

    ⇒ Second term = 2 (3) + 5 = 11

    So, the Common Difference = Second term - First term

    = 11 - 7 = 4

    Now, Fourth term in an AP = Third term + Common Difference

    = 4x + 3 + = 4x + 7 = 4 (3) + 7 = 19

    So, the fourth term in the sequence is 19.
