The first five terms of the sequence are; 4,600, 4,550, 4,500, 4,450, 4,400 and the total predicted number of sold cars for the first year is 51,900 cars
<h3>Arithmetic sequence</h3>
- First month, a = 4,600 cars
- Common difference, d = -50 cars
First five terms;
a = 4,600
a + d = 4600 + (-50)
= 4600 - 50
= 4,550
a + 2d
= 4600 + 2(-50)
= 4600 - 100
= 4,500
a + 3d
= 4,600 + 3(-50)
= 4,600 - 150
= 4,450
a + 4d
= 4600 + 4(-50)
= 4,600 - 200
= 4,400
cars predicted for the twelfth month.
a + 11d
= 4600 + 11(-50)
= 4600 + 550
= 4,050
Total predicted number of sold cars for the first year:
Sn = n/2{2a + (n - 1)d }
= 12/2{2×4600 + (12-1)-50}
= 6{9200 + 11(-50)}
= 6(9,200 - 550)
= 6(8,650)
= 51,900 cars

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
(6x + 3) - 5x
(3 + 6x) - 5x.....commutative
3 + (6x - 5x).....associative
3 + (6 - 5)x...distributive
3 + 1x....subtraction
3 + x....multiplicative identity
