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

The sum of the first 10 even numbers is 110.
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.
