Commented by Tawa1 last updated on 19/Mar/19

Please help me prove the sum of an arithmetico − geometric series,  and the sum to infinity.     Again      How does the 3x in the above solution disappear.  From       3x + (2x^2  + 2x^3  + ... + 2x^n ) − (2n + 1)x^(n + 1)     to                x + (2x + 2x^2  + 2x^3  + ... + 2x^n ) − (2n + 1)x^(n + 1)     in next line ...    Thanks.

3x +(2x^2 +2x^3 +...+2x^n )−..  =x+2x+(2x^2 +2x^3 +...+2x^n )−...  =x+(2x+2x^2 +2x^3 +...+2x^n )−...

$$\mathrm{3}{x}\:+\left(\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +...+\mathrm{2}{x}^{{n}} \right)−.. \\ $$$$={x}+\mathrm{2}{x}+\left(\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +...+\mathrm{2}{x}^{{n}} \right)−... \\ $$$$={x}+\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +...+\mathrm{2}{x}^{{n}} \right)−... \\ $$
