Algebraic Equation Help

[AndruS]

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read this thread. I am currently working on a rather interesting Algebra problem. This problem is for a personal project I am working on, not a school assignment. I will do my best to explain what I need help with:

v=2000000
v=x+a+b+c+d+e+f


2.5x=a
2.5a=b
2.5b=c
2.5c=d
2.5d=e
2.5e=f

I need to find x. (x will then give me a-f).

e = f/2.5
d = e/2.5 = f/2.5/2.5
c = d/2.5 = e/2.5/2.5 = f/2.5/2.5/2.5
etc...

\(2*{10^6} = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^6 {{{(2.5)}^k}x} \) Solve for \(x\). See Here
