Given that Σ_(r=0) ^4 6r =2Σ_(r=1) ^n 5r, work out the value  of n.
$$\mathrm{Given}\:\mathrm{that}\:\underset{\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\mathrm{4}} {\sum}}\mathrm{6r}\:=\mathrm{2}\underset{\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{\mathrm{n}} {\sum}}\mathrm{5r},\:\mathrm{work}\:\mathrm{out}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{value} \\ $$$$\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{n}. \\ $$

Σ_0 ^4 ((3/5))r = Σ_(r=1) ^n r  (3/5)(0+1+2+3+4)=(n/2)(n+1)  12 = n^2 +n ⇔ n^2 −n−12=0  n = 4 , n = −3 (no solution)
$$\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\mathrm{4}} {\sum}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\right){r}\:=\:\underset{{r}=\mathrm{1}} {\overset{{n}} {\sum}}{r} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\left(\mathrm{0}+\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{4}\right)=\frac{{n}}{\mathrm{2}}\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{12}\:=\:{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +{n}\:\Leftrightarrow\:{n}^{\mathrm{2}} −{n}−\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${n}\:=\:\mathrm{4}\:,\:{n}\:=\:−\mathrm{3}\:\left({no}\:{solution}\right) \\ $$
