Answer:

  d)  3195

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances traveled make an arithmetic series, the sum of which is given by ...

  Sn = (2·a1 +d(n -1))(n/2)

This series has first term a1=5 and common difference d=7. Then the total distance traveled in 30 seconds is ...

  S30 = (2·5 +7(30-1))(30/2) = (10 +203)(15) = 3195

The cart travels 3195 inches.
