    The balance in the Cash account at the beginning of May was $4,600

    Explanation:

    The balance in the Cash account at the ending of May = The balance in the Cash account at the beginning of May + Cash increased in May - Cash decreased in May.

    The balance in the Cash account at the beginning of May = The balance in the Cash account at the ending of May + Cash decreased in May - Cash increased in May

    Cash increased in May = the Cash account was debited = $12,500

    Cash decreased in May = the Cash account was credited = $11,800

    The balance in the Cash account at the beginning of May = $5,300 + $11,800 - $12,500 = $4,600
