Mean of a discrete pmf with unknown constants

Let XX be a discrete random variable with the probability mass function

P(X=n)={−2cn,n=−1,−2, d,n=0, cn,n=1,2, 0,otherwise,P(X=n)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{-2c}{n}, & n=-1,-2,\ d, & n=0,\ cn, & n=1,2,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

where cc and dd are positive real numbers. If P(∣X∣≤1)=3/4P(|X|\le1)=3/4, then E(X)E(X) equals
