\[c_{1} = - 9;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ q = - 2;\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \]
\[S_{n} = - 99:\]
\[S_{n} = \frac{c_{1}\left( q^{n} - 1 \right)}{q - 1} =\]
\[= \frac{- 9 \cdot \left( ( - 2)^{n} - 1 \right)}{- 3} =\]
\[= - 99\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\ :( - 9)\]
\[\frac{( - 2)^{n} - 1}{- 3} = 11\ \ \ \ \ \ \]
\[( - 2)^{n} - 1 = - 33\]
\[( - 2)^{n} = - 32\]
\[( - 2)^{n} = ( - 2)^{5}\]
\[n = 5.\]
\[Ответ:\ n = 5.\]
