This sum if really a combination of 2 geometric series.

First geometric series: 15,225,4125, and so on

Second geometric series: 25, 425, 8125, and so on

use: a11r formula: The sum of the first geometric series would be: 15÷35=1/3

2nd would be: 2/5 ÷ 3/5 = 2/3

1/3+2/3 = 1

We still didn't add the first term: 1

So 1+1 = 2
