In any series of numbers in arithmetical progression, the sum of the two extremes is equal to the sum of any two terms equally distant from them; as in the latter of the above series 6 + 1=4+3, and =5+2.

...proportion is contained in the following theorems : 1. When four quantities are in Arithmetical Proportion, the sum of the two extremes is equal to the sum of the two means. Thus, in the arithmeticals 4, 6, 7, 9, the sum 4 + 9 = 6 + 7 = 13: and in the arithmeticals... | |
