2x\left(-2\right)^{n}=-\left(-2\right)^{n+1}
Subtract \left(-2\right)^{n+1} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2\left(-2\right)^{n}x=-\left(-2\right)^{n+1}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2\left(-2\right)^{n}x}{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}=\frac{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}
Divide both sides by 2\left(-2\right)^{n}.
x=\frac{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}
Dividing by 2\left(-2\right)^{n} undoes the multiplication by 2\left(-2\right)^{n}.
x=1
Divide 2\left(-2\right)^{n} by 2\left(-2\right)^{n}.
2x\left(-2\right)^{n}=-\left(-2\right)^{n+1}
Subtract \left(-2\right)^{n+1} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2\left(-2\right)^{n}x=-\left(-2\right)^{n+1}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2\left(-2\right)^{n}x}{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}=\frac{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}
Divide both sides by 2\left(-2\right)^{n}.
x=\frac{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}{2\left(-2\right)^{n}}
Dividing by 2\left(-2\right)^{n} undoes the multiplication by 2\left(-2\right)^{n}.
x=1
Divide 2\left(-2\right)^{n} by 2\left(-2\right)^{n}.
