2. I have begun but got stuck midway.
3. I got an answer but I was told that it's wrong.
4. I got an answer and would like my work checked.
5. I have a question about someone else's work/solution.
6. I have completed the problem and don't need help anymore. Thank you.
7. None of the above

just let first term a, common difference r and solve it, what are you not getting?

[warm pasture]

You mean common ratio?

[exotic galleon]

yes yes i meant common ratio

Like @exotic galleon said, first term is $a$, difference is $r$

[dark notch]

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

[urban viper]

So $a + r + a + 5r$ = $\frac{25}{2}$ or $2a + 6r = \frac{25}{2}$

[dark notch]

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

[urban viper]

and $a + 2r + a + 4r = 25$ or $2a + 6r = 25$

[dark notch]

1 divided by 0 equals Infinity

Product, not sum

[exotic galleon]

i fixed it

[exotic galleon]

i meant common ratio

so it's ar+ar⁵=25/2

ohhhhhh
