- Multiply (-2x-4) by -5:
[(-5)(-2x) + (-5)(-4)] +5x - 4 = -29
= 10x+20+5x-4=-29
- Combine Like Terms:
(10x+5x) + (20-4) = -29
15x+16=-29
- Subtract 16 from each side
15x+16 -16 = -29 -16
15x = -45
x = -3
A(n) = –3 • 2⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾
for n = 1 , A₁ = -3.(2)⁰ = -3
for n = 2 , A₂ = -3.(2)¹ = -6
for n = 3 , A₃ = -3.(2)² = -12
for n = 4 , A₄ = -3.(2)³ = -24
...........................................
for n = 8 , A₈ = -3.(2)⁷ = -384
