Common difference = -16-(-20) = 4
nth term = -20+(n-1)4
In order to find the value of x, you have to cross multiply both equations. 4x-10 is basically 4 times something subtract 10. Same thing as well for 3x-2. Now it says to find the value of x. X has to also be the same answer for both equation as well. By the way x doesn't have a given number so there is no specific answer.
Here the answer is: 0.76 and 1.84
I hope I don't have to explain it again.

Step 1: Subtract 7 from both sides.

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.
