162 = 18r^2
r = 3
18 = 9a, so a = 2
S7 = 2(1-3^7)/(1-3) = 2186
check:
2+6+18+54+162+486+1458 = 2186
r = 3
18 = 9a, so a = 2
S7 = 2(1-3^7)/(1-3) = 2186
check:
2+6+18+54+162+486+1458 = 2186

Everything is right, but
r = -3
not r = 3
because the problem stated that r < 0
r = -3
not r = 3
because the problem stated that r < 0
