Answer 1

x=37000+1500(n-1)
=37000+1500n -1500
x=1500n - 35500

first year: 37000
second year: 38500
third year: 40000
fourth year: 41500
fifth year: 43000
sixth year: 44500

these 6 years numbers are add together and it becomes: $244500

x=1500n-35500
i forgot to add that if you sub in 1-6 year in the n and you will get those answer above
