sequences and series - Why does $sum_{n = 0}^infty frac{n}{2^n}$ converge to 2?

Apparently,


$$ \sum_{n = 0}^\infty \frac{n}{2^n} $$


converges to 2. I'm trying to figure out why. I've tried viewing it as a geometric series, but it's not quite a geometric series since the numerator increases by 1 every term.
