( n = 1 ∑ ∞ 1 6 n 5 n ) + 4 4 ( 3 4 + 9 4 + 2 7 4 + 8 1 4 + . . . ) can be written as b a , where a and b are coprime positive integers. Find the value of n = 0 ∑ 4 a n + b n .

The series can be simply broken using geometric progression giving same result
Or you can represent the series like this,
( n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 1 6 5 ) n ) + 1 1 1 ⋅ ( n = 1 ∑ ∞ ( 3 1 ) n )
Both the infinite sums of the total sequence are infinite GPs with common ratios ( r ) = 1 6 5 and 3 1 respectively, and ∣ r ∣ < 1 in both cases. So, you can directly use the infinite GP sum formula for these type of series. The rest of the work can be done easily.
So, here's my first attempt at the no-word proofs. Could anybody please rate this proof/ tell me how I can improve it?
S = 1 6 5 + 2 5 6 2 5 + 4 0 9 6 1 2 5 .
5 1 6 S = 5 1 6 ( 1 6 5 + 2 5 6 2 5 + 4 0 9 6 1 2 5 ) = 1 + S .
S = 1 1 5
y = 3 4 + 9 4 + 2 7 4 + . . .
3 y = 3 ( 3 4 + 9 4 + 2 7 4 + . . . ) = 4 + y
y = 2 .
4 4 2 = 2 2 1 .
S + 4 4 y = 1 1 5 + 2 2 1 = 2 2 1 0 + 2 2 1 = 2 2 1 1 = 2 1
1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 1 6 = 3 6
You need to improve your LaTeX to write your solutions to make them more comprehensible. Here, this link may help you.
Use a/1-r for the two infinite geometric series. For the first one a = 5/16 and r = 5/16. For the second one a = 1/33 and r = 1/3. Therefore, the first series is equal to 5/11 and the second series is equal to 1/22 and a/b = 1/2. By calculation the summation, the answer 26 is achieved.

S = 1 6 5 + 1 6 2 5 2 + 1 6 3 5 3 . . . . . . . . . . . .
1 6 S = 1 6 2 5 + 1 6 3 5 2 + . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Subtracting both,
S − 1 6 S = 1 6 5 + 1 6 2 5 . 4 + 1 6 3 5 2 . 4 + . . . .
1 6 1 5 S = 1 6 5 + 1 6 2 5 . 4 ( 1 + 1 6 5 + 1 6 2 5 2 + . . . .
S = 1 1 5
4 ( 4 4 3 1 + 3 2 1 + 3 3 1 . . . . . . . . )
= 2 2 1
Adding both,
= 2 1
n = 0 ∑ 4 1 n + 2 n = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 0 + 2 + 2 2 + . . + 2 4
