Suppose the first term is a, the second is a+r and the nth is a+(n-1)r. Then the sum of the first five = 5a + 10r = 85 and the sum of the first six = 6a + 15r = 123 Solving these simultaneous equations, a = 3 and r = 7 So the first four terms are: 3, 10, 17 and 24
(Sum of terms)/(number of terms) (10+10+10+2)/4=8

To find the sum of the first 48 terms of an arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: Sn = n/2 * (a1 + an), where Sn is the sum of the first n terms, a1 is the first term, and an is the nth term. In this case, a1 = 2, n = 48, and an = 2 + (48-1)*2 = 96. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: S48 = 48/2 * (2 + 96) = 24 * 98 = 2352. Therefore, the sum of the first 48 terms of the given arithmetic sequence is 2352.
The sum of the first 10 even numbers is 110.
