If the series are infinite, how can you subtract term n in x from term n+1 from 2x? (2-2, 4-4, etc.) Both series diverge in the end, so... o-o
If you follow the parenthesis, it comes out as 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 +..., which diverges to infinity.
Infinity = -1? I think you made an oopsie. :|

Lucida Wrote:More people on Basil are correct... I'm going to be optimistic and say that that means SPers are more critical thinkers.

People, myself included, like to post these kinds of things on Basil to see them fail. Sooner or later, they build up resistance to them. :| I think there's three kinds of people who voted yes at Basil: Some tiny minority of people who know what they're talking about, some number of people who've seen this thread before, and people who think "I don't understand what this says, but it looks legit/probably a troll" after seeing the OP and comments.
Boils down to your conclusion, really. xP
