PREP QUESTION

by tiffayreed » Wed Jul 16, 2008 5:24 am
Hello - I'm making an easy problem harder than what I may think it is. Can you help me solve the following question. The question is from the GMATPREP.

a1, a2, a3… Each term after the first is equal to twice the previous term. If a5-a2=12, what is the value of a1?

The answer choices are listed below.

A. 4
B. 24/7
C. 2
D. 12/7
E. 6/7

Thanks a lot for your help.
