\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite geometric sequence}\\\\
S_n=\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\ a_1\cdot r^{i-1}\implies S_n=a_1\left( \cfrac{1-r^n}{1-r} \right)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=-2\\
r=5\\
n=6
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
S_6=-2\left( \cfrac{1-5^6}{1-5} \right)

−(7 − 2x) + 7 = −7 solve for x
jekas [21]
First, remove the parentheses

-7+2x+7=-7

Cancel the equal terms.

2x+7=0

Subtract 7

2x= -7

Divide both sides by 2

Final answer is:

X= -3.5
