Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of months since joining the newspaper.

Let a represent the total number of articles he has published.

The columnist had already published 46 articles before joining a newspaper. Since then, he has published 11 more articles every month. This means that in m months, the total number of articles he would have published is

a = 46 + 11m

Therefore, when m = 6,

a = 46 + 11 × 6 = 46 + 66

a = 112
