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: a11−r 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
