4x + 20 = 6x + -10
Reorder the terms:
20 + 4x = 6x + -10
Reorder the terms:
20 + 4x = -10 + 6x
Solving
20 + 4x = -10 + 6x
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
20 + 4x + -6x = -10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x
20 + -2x = -10 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
20 + -2x = -10 + 0
20 + -2x = -10
Add '-20' to each side of the equation.
20 + -20 + -2x = -10 + -20
Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0
0 + -2x = -10 + -20
-2x = -10 + -20
Combine like terms: -10 + -20 = -30
-2x = -30
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 15

Problem
Find the nth term
tn = (-1 )^(n -1) * (a)^n answer or
tn = (-1)^(n - 1) * 2^n
where a is defined as the first term (it usually is given that designation).
Try a few to make sure the formula is correct
<em>n = 1</em>
t1 = (-1)^(1 - 1) * 2^1
t1 = (-1)^0 * 2
t1 = 1 * 2 = 2
<em>n =2</em>
t2 = (-1)^(2 - 1) * 2^2 = (-1)^1 * 4 = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
mass (m) = 5000 kg
velocity (v) = 100 km/h = 100* 1000/ 3600 = 27.78m/s
Now
Kinetic energy
= 1/2 mv²
= 1/2 * 5000 * 27.78²
= 1929321 joule
