So if the equation is 6y<18, you have to get the y alone so you have to do inverse operations.
Since 6 is being multiplied by y, you have to divide the whole equation by 6. You are left with y<3, which is the answer. Do you understand?
Answer:
Hey! Your answer should be C. MOP ≈ DAB
You will need to use this formula:
<span>Years = {log(total) -log(Principal)} ÷ log(1 + rate)
Years = [log(15,000) - log(2,500)] / log (1.0525)

You'll find the formula here: http://www.1728.org/compint2.htm
And a compound interest calculator here: http://www.1728.org/compint.htm
(You'll find both are helpful for this problem).
-2 is the answer when i figured out the problem
