How would you proceed to find the generating function of the following sequence? $$a_n = 5\times 7^n - 3\times 4^n$$ I have no idea where to start for cases where the index appears as exponent.
Thanks in advance!

Hint: The sequence satisfies the recurrence $a_{n+2}=11a_{n+1}-28a_n$.
This comes from expanding $(x-7)(x-4)$.
