Question

It is given that
∑r=3n1r(r+1)=13−1n+1.\sum_{r=3}^n \frac{1}{r(r+1)} = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{n+1}.
Find an expression for
∑r=7n1(r−2)(r−1)\displaystyle \sum_{r=7}^{n} \frac{1}{(r - 2)(r - 1)}
in term form A−1n+B,{\displaystyle A - \frac{1}{n+B},} where A{A} and B{B} are constants to be determined.

Attempt
