Multiply both sides by 2
so
-1x = 12
divide both sides by -1
x = -12

Hope this helps :)

Well, we would solve it as cancelling out -1/2 by multiplying it by its reciprocal (-2/1) to get x by itself, and now we'll do the same on the other side, where 6/1 times -2/1 = -12/1, which is the same as -12.
So x = -12 :3

If a₁ = 4 and an = 5an-1 then find the value of a5.

igor_vitrenko [27]

The value of $a_{5}$ is 2500, when $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

Given that, $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

We need to find the value of $a_{5}$ .

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

Now, to find the value of $a_{5}$ :

$a_{2} =5a_{2-1}=5a_{1}=5 \times4=20$
