Differential Equation Power Series Method (Almost done!)

Homework Statement


solve (2x-1)y'+2y=0 using power series.
I'm really close to the correct answer, which is c/(1-2x). I keep getting 2c/(1-2x).
I got the correct radius of convergence, however (1/2)

Homework Equations


shown in my attempt at a solution.
