How continue with this proof? I'm trying to proof the following statement:
$7+6 \cdot (7+7^1+7^2+\dots+7^n) = 7^{n+1}$
I try the next:
$n=k$
$7+6 \cdot (7+7^1+7^2+\dots+7^k) = 7^{k+1}$
$7+6 \cdot (7+7^1+7^2+\dots+7^k)-7 = 7^{k+1}-7$
$\frac{6 \cdot (7+7^1+7^2+\dots+7^k)}{6} = \frac{7^{k+1}-7}{6}$
$7+7^1+7^2+\dots+7^k = \frac{7^{k+1}-7}{6}$
$n=k+1$
$7+7^1+7^2+\dots+7^k+7^{k+1} = \frac{7^{k+2}-7}{6}$
Proof:
$\frac{7^{k+1}-7}{6}+7^{k+1} = \frac{7^{k+2}-7}{6}$
$\frac{7^{k+1}-7+6\cdot7^{k+1}}{6}$
Any idea?

Use the formula for the sum of a geometric sequence:
$$7+6\left(7+7^2+\ldots+7^n\right)=7+6\frac{7-7^{n+1}}{1-7}=7-7+7^{n+1}=7^{n+1}$$
