For a real number $x$, if $\frac{1}{2}, \frac{\log _{3}\left(2^{x}-9\right)}{\log _{3} 4}$, and $\frac{\log _{5}\left(2^{x}+\frac{17}{2}\right)}{\log _{5} 4}$ are in an arithmetic progression, then the common difference is

If a, b and c are positive real numbers such that $a > 10 \ge b \ge c$ and $\frac{\log_8(a+b)}{\log_2 c} + \frac{\log_{27}(a - b)}{\log_3 c} = \frac{2}{3}$, then the greatest possible integer value of a is

If $\log_{12}81 = p$, then $3\frac{4-p}{4+p}$ is equal to
