the number is - 1
let the number be n then 6 times the number is 6n and added to -4 is
- 4 + 6n = 10n ( equal to 10 times the number )
subtract 6n from both sides
- 4 = 4n ( divide both sides by 4 )
= n , hence n = - 1

The rule for the sequence is S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)
Alternative form: S(n) = S(n-1) + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we know the first two terms of the sequence:
S(1) = 2
S(2) = 5
We are told that each term after the second is created by subtracting the term before the previous term from twice the previous term. In other words, if we call:
S(n) the current term
S(n-1) the previous term
S(n-2) the term before the previous term
This statement translates into the following sequence:
S(n) = 2S(n-1) - S(n-2)
Because we are subtracting the term before the previous term, S(n-2), from twice the previous term, 2S(n-1).
We can apply now the rule to find the first few terms of the sequence after S(1) and S(2):
We notice also that each term of the sequence is just equal to the previous term plus 3, so the sequence can also be written as
S(n) = S(n-1) + 3
