So what does f(n) mean?

Well F(n) is saying the function, of n.

Basically we need to make n be any random number.

Well what number do we choose?

f(n-1)+2

f(2-1)+2

1+2

3

f(2) is 3

lets do this 4 more times

-4=12-2x <br>please help me with step by step​
TEA [102]

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4 = 12 - 2x

when plus 12 goes to the left hand side it changes its sign so,

-4 -12 = -2x

- * - is plus so add 4 and 12 but keep the sign - because 12 is the greatest number and its sign is -

-16=-2x

when -2 comes to the left hand side it changes its from multiplication to division.So,

-16/-2=x

8=x

we will get positive 8 because minus and minus also gets cancel.
