Arithmetic progression sum equation

46 Views Asked by At

I have faced an equation that I just cannot solve. I know that it must be solved using geometric progression sum forumla, but I don't know how to find the difference. Maybe you could help me? :) $$ \dfrac{1}{x+x^2+\cdots} = \dfrac{7}{2}$$, if $$0< x < 1$$
