Answer:

Sum = 19,662

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that this is a finite geometric series (meaning it stops at a specific term or in this case -24,576), we can use this formula:  

[tex]\frac{a(1-r^n)}{1-r}[/tex], where a is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the number of terms.

Substituting for everything and simplifying gives us:

[tex]\frac{6(1-(-4)^7)}{1-(-4)} \\\\\frac{6(16385}{5}\\ \\\frac{98310}{5}\\ \\19662[/tex]
