S =Σ_(n=1) ^∞  ((3n−1)/2^(n−1) ) =_(n−1=p)   Σ_(p=0) ^∞  ((3p+2)/2^p )  so S =3Σ_(n=0) ^∞  (n/2^n ) +2 Σ_(n=0) ^∞  (1/2^n )   we have Σ_(n=0) ^∞  (1/2^n ) =(1/(1−(1/2))) =2  let f(x) =Σ_(n=0) ^∞  nx^n       with ∣x∣<1 we have Σ_(n=0) ^∞  x^n  =(1/(1−x)) ⇒  Σ_(n=1) ^∞  nx^(n−1)  =(1/((1−x)^2 )) ⇒Σ_(n=1) ^∞  nx^n  =(x/((1−x)^2 )) ⇒  Σ_(n=0) ^∞  n((1/2))^n  =(1/(2(1−(1/2))^2 )) =(1/(2×(1/4))) =2 ⇒ S =3×2) +(2×2  S =10

an elementary  solution was needed  2S−S=?
$$\mathrm{an}\:\mathrm{elementary}\:\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{was}\:\mathrm{needed} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2S}−\mathrm{S}=? \\ $$
