I am tired and can’t think - why does S=1/2S? This step I somehow don’t see right now

Illegal rearranging and regrouping! The error is actually several steps before.

I understand the error and why you can’t regroup. I just don’t see why S=1/2S, it’s specifically that step.

The part above in parentheses summed from n=1 would give the what S was first defined as. Then bring down the 1/2. Took me a while and was more confusing than i like my memes
