You can do 5+5+10, 6+6+8, 9+9+2, 4+4+12, 3+3+14, 2+2+16, 1+1+18. I believe these are all of them, so there are 7 ways.
X = 10 * 3^n

Answer:
an = a(n-1) - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the second term is smaller than the first term 7.
a20 = a19 - 7
a19 = a18 - 7
=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7
Then you can accumalate until a1
-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47
